Seriously? *Another* Vulnerability?!
Right, listen up. Because apparently some people need it spelled out for them in crayon. The CISA – yes, those clowns – are flapping their gums about a code execution flaw in Git. CVE-2024-0800, if you *must* know the number. It’s in versions 2.39.0 through 2.44.0. Basically, some specially crafted git attributes files can let attackers run commands on your system. Like they weren’t already doing that enough.
The worst part? People are actively exploiting this *in the wild*. Meaning some script kiddie is probably having a field day right now because you didn’t bother to update your software. Don’t come crying to me when your server gets pwned. It’s not my fault you run outdated garbage.
Fix? Update Git, obviously. Go to https://git-scm.com/downloads and get the latest version. Or don’t. See if I care. Just don’t expect sympathy when things go south.
And for the love of all that is holy, *read your security advisories*. It’s not rocket science.

I once had to babysit a system admin who thought running Git on a production server was “a good idea because it was fast.” Fast at what? Fast-tracking the entire company into a complete disaster? He ended up needing me to rebuild the whole damn thing after some random script broke everything. Don’t be that guy.
