An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-4759 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.eclipse.jgit:org.eclipse.jgit (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 5.13.3.202401111512-r\n- org.eclipse.jgit:org.eclipse.jgit (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 5.13.3.202401111512-r\n- org.eclipse.jgit:org.eclipse.jgit (Maven): affected from 6.0.0.202111291000-r; fixed in 6.6.1.202309021850-r\n- org.eclipse.jgit:org.eclipse.jgit (Maven): affected from 6.0.0.202111291000-r; fixed in 6.6.1.202309021850-r\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4759/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4759/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-4759","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4759/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-4759","record":{"aliases":["CLSA-2026-1771373384","CVE-2024-41807","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-4759","GHSA-3p86-9955-h393","MINI-6c9h-6q4x-wrvf","OESA-2023-1995","ROOT-APP-MAVEN-CVE-2023-4759","SUSE-SU-2024:0057-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-4759","openSUSE-SU-2024:13312-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Java Git library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can overwrite arbitrary files via crafted symlinks on case-insensitive filesystems, potentially leading to remote code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"eclipse","cpe":[{"product":"jgit","vendor":"eclipse"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"},{"id":"CWE-178","name":"Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity"}],"description":"Arbitrary File Overwrite in Eclipse JGit \u003c= 6.6.0\n\nIn Eclipse JGit, all versions \u003c= 6.6.0.202305301015-r, a symbolic link present in a specially crafted git repository can be used to write a file to locations outside the working tree when this repository is cloned with JGit to a case-insensitive filesystem, or when a checkout from a clone of such a repository is performed on a case-insensitive filesystem.\n\nThis can happen on checkout (DirCacheCheckout), merge (ResolveMerger via its WorkingTreeUpdater), pull (PullCommand using merge), and when applying a patch (PatchApplier). This can be exploited for remote code execution (RCE), for instance if the file written outside the working tree is a git filter that gets executed on a subsequent git command.\n\nThe issue occurs only on case-insensitive filesystems, like the default filesystems on Windows and macOS. The user performing the clone or checkout must have the rights to create symbolic links for the problem to occur, and symbolic links must be enabled in the git configuration.\n\nSetting git configuration option core.symlinks = false before checking out avoids the problem.\n\nThe issue was fixed in Eclipse JGit version 6.6.1.202309021850-r and 6.7.0.202309050840-r, available via  Maven Central https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/jgit/  and  repo.eclipse.org https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/jgit-releases/ . A backport is available in 5.13.3 starting from  5.13.3.202401111512-r.\n\nThe JGit maintainers would like to thank RyotaK for finding and reporting this issue.","ecosystems":["Maven","SUSE:Enterprise
