What is CVE-2022-24975?

CVE-2022-24975 is a high-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 11 Feb 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official 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.
