| CVE-2025-66413 | Git for Windows is the Windows port of Git. Prior to 2.53.0(2), it is possible to obtain a user's NTLM hash by tricking them into cloning from a malicious server. Since NTLM hashing is weak, it is possible for the attacker to brute-force the user's account name and password. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.53.0(2). | [email protected] | 7.4 | 0.27% | 2026-03-10 | 2026-06-17 |
| CVE-2022-31012 | Git for Windows is a fork of Git that contains Windows-specific patches. This vulnerability in versions prior to 2.37.1 lets Git for Windows' installer execute a binary into `C:\mingw64\bin\git.exe` by mistake. This only happens upon a fresh install, not when upgrading Git for Windows. A patch is included in version 2.37.1. Two workarounds are available. Create the `C:\mingw64` folder and remove read/write access from this folder, or disallow arbitrary authenticated users to create folders in `C | [email protected] | 8.2 | 0.37% | 2022-07-12 | 2026-06-17 |
| CVE-2021-46101 | In Git for windows through 2.34.1 when using git pull to update the local warehouse, git.cmd can be run directly. | [email protected] | 7.5 | 1.38% | 2022-01-31 | 2026-06-17 |
| CVE-2018-11235 | In Git before 2.13.7, 2.14.x before 2.14.4, 2.15.x before 2.15.2, 2.16.x before 2.16.4, and 2.17.x before 2.17.1, remote code execution can occur. With a crafted .gitmodules file, a malicious project can execute an arbitrary script on a machine that runs "git clone --recurse-submodules" because submodule "names" are obtained from this file, and then appended to $GIT_DIR/modules, leading to directory traversal with "../" in a name. Finally, post-checkout hooks from a submodule are executed, bypas | [email protected] | 7.8 | 49.19% | 2018-05-30 | 2026-06-16 |
