Proof-of-concept exploit code exists

  • CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
  • A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.

Description

Summary

In eza, there exists a potential heap overflow vulnerability, first seen when using Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi series system, on ubuntu-raspi kernel, relating to the .git directory.

Details

The vulnerability seems to be triggered by the .git directory in some projects. This issue may be related to specific files, and the directory structure also plays a role in triggering the vulnerability. Files/folders that may be involved in triggering the vulnerability include .git/HEAD, .git/refs, and .git/objects.

As @polly pointed out to me, this is likely caused by GHSA-j2v7-4f6v-gpg8, which we do seem to use currently.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for eza, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update eza to 0.18.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-3qx3-6hxr-j2ch is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.
