Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2024-659
Advisory Release Date: 2024-07-18 01:24 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2024-07-22 16:00 Pacific
Severity:
Important
Issue Overview:
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. On the 2.x branch prior to versions 2.2.24 and 2.7.7, the `composer install` command running inside a git/hg repository which has specially crafted branch names can lead to command injection. This requires cloning untrusted repositories. Patches are available in version 2.2.24 for 2.2 LTS or 2.7.7 for mainline. As a workaround, avoid cloning potentially compromised repositories. (CVE-2024-35242)
