Clone2Leak Attacks Exploit Git Flaws to Steal Credentials
A new set of Git vulnerabilities, collectively known as “Clone2Leak,” has come to light, exposing users to credential theft. These flaws highlight how improper parsing of authentication requests in Git and its credential helpers can be exploited to leak sensitive information such as passwords and access tokens. Git, a widely used version control system, relies on credential helpers to store and retrieve authentication credentials for seamless interactions with remote repositories. However, this convenience comes with risks, as attackers can exploit these tools to intercept and steal credentials when users interact with malicious repositories.
