**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Git versions prior to 2.30.9, 2.31.8, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, 2.34.8, 2.35.8, 2.36.6, 2.37.7, 2.38.5, 2.39.3, and 2.40.1 **Description** The issue is related to insufficient neutralization of special elements in a request, which can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. A specially crafted `.gitmodules` file with submodule URLs longer than 1024 characters can be used to exploit a bug in `config.c::git config copy or rename section in file()`. This bug can inject arbitrary configuration into a user's `$GIT DIR/config` when attempting to remove the configuration section associated with that submodule. The attacker can inject configuration values that specify executables to run, such as `core.pager`, `core.editor`, `core.sshCommand`, etc., leading to remote code execution. **Recommendations** To resolve the issue, update to versions 2.30.9, 2.31.8, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, 2.34.8, 2.35.8, 2.36.6, 2.37.7, 2.38.5, 2.39.3, or 2.40.1. As a temporary workaround, avoid running `git submodule deinit` on untrusted repositories or without prior inspection of any submodule sections in `$GIT DIR/config`.
