The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM / 22.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5968-1 advisory.

  • All versions of package gitpython are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper user input validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command.
    Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to git without sufficient sanitization of input arguments. (CVE-2022-24439)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
