GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2023-43655

Impact

Users publishing a composer.phar to a public web-accessible server where the composer.phar can be executed as a php file may be impacted if PHP also has register_argc_argv enabled in php.ini.

Patches

2.6.4, 2.2.22 and 1.10.27 patch this vulnerability.

Workarounds

Make sure register_argc_argv is disabled in php.ini, and avoid publishing composer.phar to the web as this really should not happen.

CVE-2024-24821

Impact

Several files within the local working directory are included during the invocation of Composer and in the context of the executing user.

As such, under certain conditions arbitrary code execution may lead to local privilege escalation, provide lateral user movement or malicious code execution when Composer is invoked within a directory with tampered files.

All Composer CLI commands are affected, including composer.phar's self-update.

The following are of high risk:

• Composer being run with sudo.
• Pipelines which may execute Composer on untrusted projects.
• Shared environments with developers who run Composer individually on the same project.

Patches

2.7.0, 2.2.23

Workarounds

• It is advised that the patched versions are applied at the earliest convenience.

Where not possible, the following should be addressed:

• Remove all sudo composer privileges for all users to mitigate root privilege escalation.
• Avoid running Composer within an untrusted directory, or if needed, verify that the contents of vendor/composer/InstalledVersions.php and vendor/composer/installed.php do not include untrusted code.

A reset can also be done on these files by the following:

rm vendor/composer/installed.php vendor/composer/InstalledVersions.php
composer install --no-scripts --no-plugins

CVE-2024-35242

Impact

The composer install command running inside a git/hg repository which has specially crafted branch names can lead to command injection. So this requires cloning untrusted repositories.

Patches

2.2.24 for 2.2 LTS or 2.7.7 for mainline

Workarounds

Avoid cloning potentially compromised repositories.

CVE-2024-35241

Impact

The status, reinstall and remove commands with packages installed from source via git containing specially crafted branch names in the repository can be used to execute code.

Patches

2.2.24 for 2.2 LTS or 2.7.7 for mainline

Workarounds

Avoid installing dependencies via git by using --prefer-dist or the preferred-install: dist config setting.
