CVE-2024-52308  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-77  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/cli/cli/internal/codespaces/rpc to version 2.62.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection via the gh codespace ssh or gh codespace logs commands. An attacker can execute arbitrary code on the user's workstation by manipulating SSH connection details to send a remote username containing something like -oProxyCommand="echo hacked" #. The -oProxyCommand flag causes ssh to execute the provided command while # shell comment causes any other ssh arguments to be ignored.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the user connects to a malicious third-party devcontainer.
