Insight
Insight
Git is vulnerable to the remote execution of arbitrary code by cloning repositories with large filenames or a large number of nested trees. Additionally, some protocols within Git, such as git-remote-ext, can execute arbitrary code found within URLs. These URLs that submodules use may come from arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote repository), and can effect those who enable recursive fetch. Restrict the allowed protocols to well known and safe ones.
