Descriptions

Mercurial before 3.7.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted name when converting a Git repository.

Mercurial en versiones anteriores a 3.7.3 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un nombre manipulado cuando se convierte un repositorio Git.

It was discovered that the Mercurial convert extension failed to sanitize special characters in Git repository names. A Git repository with a specially crafted name could cause Mercurial to execute arbitrary code when the Git repository was converted to a Mercurial repository.
