CVE-2023-23618

Git for Windows is the Windows port of the revision control system Git. Prior to Git for Windows version 2.39.2, when `gitk` is run on Windows, it potentially runs executables from the current directory inadvertently, which can be exploited with some social engineering to trick users into running untrusted code. A patch is available in version 2.39.2. As a workaround, avoid using `gitk` (or Git GUI's "Visualize History" functionality) in clones of untrusted repositories.

Summary
  • (es) Git para Windows es el puerto de Windows del sistema de control de revisiones Git. Antes de Git para Windows versión 2.39.2, cuando `gitk` se ejecuta en Windows, potencialmente ejecuta archivos ejecutables del directorio actual sin darse cuenta, lo que puede explotarse con algo de ingeniería social para engañar a los usuarios para que ejecuten código que no es de confianza. Hay un parche disponible en la versión 2.39.2. Como workaround, evite usar `gitk` (o la funcionalidad "Visualizar historial" de Git GUI) en clones de repositorios que no sean de confianza.
