CVE-2019-1387
Recursive clones are currently affected by a vulnerability that is caused by too-lax validation of submodule names, allowing very targeted attacks via remote code execution in recursive clones.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.43%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
