{"id":"CVE-2022-24828","aliases":["BIT-composer-2022-24828","GHSA-x7cr-6qr6-2hh6"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2022-24828","summary":"Missing input validation can lead to command execution in composer","details":"Composer is a dependency manager for the PHP programming language. Integrators using Composer code to call `VcsDriver::getFileContent` can have a code injection vulnerability if the user can control the `$file` or `$identifier` argument. This leads to a vulnerability on packagist.org for example where the composer.json's `readme` field can be used as a vector for injecting parameters into hg/Mercurial via the `$file` argument, or git via the `$identifier` argument if you allow arbitrary data there (Packagist does not, but maybe other integrators do). Composer itself should not be affected by the vulnerability as it does not call `getFileContent` with arbitrary data into `$file`/`$identifier`. To the best of our knowledge this was not abused, and the vulnerability has been patched on packagist.org and Private Packagist within a day of the vulnerability report.","published":"2022-04-13T21:00:22Z","modified":"2026-08-08T03:47:28.661997990Z","cvss":{"score":8.3,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"composer/composer","fixedVersion":"1.10.26"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"composer/composer","fixedVersion":"2.2.12"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"composer/composer","fixedVersion":"2.3.5"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/composer/composer/commit/2c40c53637c5c7e43fff7c09d3d324d632734709","label":"composer/composer@2c40c53"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.tenable.com/security/tns-2022-09"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/24xxx/CVE-2022-24828.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/composer/composer/security/advisories/GHSA-x7cr-6qr6-2hh6"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/625MT3IKWKFVIWLSYZFSXHVUA2LES7YQ/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/GWT6LDSRY7SFMTDZWJ4MS2ZBXHL7VQEF/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/QD7JQWL6C4GVROO25DTXWYWM6BPOPPCG/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-24828"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/composer/composer/commit/2c40c53637c5c7e43fff7c09d3d324d632734709"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-08T03:47:28.661997990Z"}}
