Descriptions

In Mercurial before 4.4.1, it is possible that a specially malformed repository can cause Git subrepositories to run arbitrary code in the form of a .git/hooks/post-update script checked into the repository. Typical use of Mercurial prevents construction of such repositories, but they can be created programmatically.

En Mercurial, en versiones anteriores a la 4.4.1, es posible que un repositorio especialmente mal formado provoque que los subrepositorios Git ejecuten código arbitrario en la forma de un script .git/hooks/post-update verificado en el repositorio. El uso habitual de Mercurial evita la construcción de tales repositorios, pero pueden crearse programáticamente.

Sourcetree for macOS versions 1.0b2 up to 2.7.0 and Sourcetree for Windows versions 0.5.1.0 up to 2.4.7.0 suffers from multiple command injection vulnerabilities.
