CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 7.00%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.00%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The package workspace-tools before 0.18.4 are vulnerable to Command Injection via git argument injection. When calling the fetchRemoteBranch(remote: string, remoteBranch: string, cwd: string) function, both the remote and remoteBranch parameters are passed to the git fetch subcommand in a way that additional flags can be set. The additional flags can be used to perform a command injection.
