CVE-2022-24975
This could present a security risk if information-disclosure auditing processes rely on a clone operation without the --mirror option.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.65%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The --mirror documentation for Git through 2.35.1 does not mention the availability of deleted content, aka the "GitBleed" issue. This could present a security risk if information-disclosure auditing processes rely on a clone operation without the --mirror option. Note: This has been disputed by multiple 3rd parties who believe this is an intended feature of the git binary and does not pose a security risk.
