CVE-2023-53158

A flaw was found in gix-transport. The handling of clone URLs by the crate allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands by injecting a malicious substring into the URL, specifically through the ssh protocol and ProxyCommand option. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to trigger command execution by providing a crafted URL containing the "gix clone 'ssh://-oProxyCommand=open$IFS" sequence, resulting in the execution of commands as the user running the gix process.
