CVE-2024-35242  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:22.04 composer.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream composer package and not the composer package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. On the 2.x branch prior to versions 2.2.24 and 2.7.7, the composer install command running inside a git/hg repository which has specially crafted branch names can lead to command injection. This requires cloning untrusted repositories. Patches are available in version 2.2.24 for 2.2 LTS or 2.7.7 for mainline. As a workaround, avoid cloning potentially compromised repositories.
