CVE-2022-24975

git: The --mirror option for git leaks secret for deleted content, aka the "GitBleed"

Published Feb 11, 2022 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 2.6% KEV · Not listed
Description
The --mirror documentation for Git through 2.35.1 does not mention the availability of deleted content, aka the "GitBleed" issue. This could present a security risk if information-disclosure auditing processes rely on a clone operation without the --mirror option. Note: This has been disputed by multiple 3rd parties who believe this is an intended feature of the git binary and does not pose a security risk.
