Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions workspace-tools versions prior to 0.18.4

Description The issue concerns Command Injection via git argument injection. When the fetchRemoteBranch(remote: string, remoteBranch: string, cwd: string) function is called, both the remote and remoteBranch parameters are passed to the git fetch subcommand in a way that allows additional flags to be set, which can be used to perform a command injection.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.18.4, update to version 0.18.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the fetchRemoteBranch() function until a patch is available. Avoid using the remote and remoteBranch parameters in the affected fetchRemoteBranch() function until the issue is resolved.
