CVE-2020-9708
The resolveRepositoryPath function doesn't properly validate user input and a malicious user may traverse to any valid Git repository outside the repoRoot.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.94%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The resolveRepositoryPath function doesn't properly validate user input and a malicious user may traverse to any valid Git repository outside the repoRoot. This issue may lead to unauthorized access of private Git repositories as long as the malicious user knows or brute-forces the location of the repository.
