CVE-2024-32002: Exploiting Git RCE via git clone

This repository contains a PoC for exploiting CVE-2024-32002, a vulnerability in Git that allows RCE during a git clone operation. By crafting repositories with submodules in a specific way, an attacker can exploit symlink handling on case-insensitive filesystems to write files into the .git/ directory, leading to the execution of malicious hooks.

Note: This PoC will only work in Windows or Mac systems.

Blog Post

For a detailed explanation of how this exploit was reversed, see the blog post: https://amalmurali.me/posts/git-rce.

How It Works

  1. A malicious repository (git_rce) includes a submodule with a specially crafted path.
  2. The submodule path uses a case variation that exploits the case-insensitive filesystem.
  3. The submodule includes a symlink pointing to its .git/ directory, which contains a malicious hook.
  4. When the repository is cloned, the symlink is followed, and the malicious hook is executed, leading to RCE.

Repository Structure

  • git_rce/ (this repository): The main repository containing the submodule.
  • blackninja23/hook: The submodule repository containing the malicious hook.

Reproduction

⚠️ Warning: Do not run this PoC on systems you do not own or do not have explicit permission to use. Unauthorized testing could result in unintended consequences.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/blackninja23/CVE-2024-32002.git

Note: On Windows, you may need to run the shell as administrator for this to work.
