Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output due to improper escaping of single quotes in the SSH transport command construction process. An attacker can inject arbitrary shell tokens by including single quotes in the repository path, potentially leading to unintended command execution on SSH servers that evaluate the exec command through a shell.
