From c44088ecc4b0722636e0a305f9608d3047197282 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2020 20:54:13 -0700 Subject: credential: treat URL without scheme as invalid libcurl permits making requests without a URL scheme specified. In this case, it guesses the URL from the hostname, so I can run git ls-remote http::ftp.example.com/path/to/repo and it would make an FTP request. Any user intentionally using such a URL is likely to have made a typo. Unfortunately, credential_from_url is not able to determine the host and protocol in order to determine appropriate credentials to send, and until "credential: refuse to operate when missing host or protocol", this resulted in another host's credentials being leaked to the named host. Teach credential_from_url_gently to consider such a URL to be invalid so that fsck can detect and block gitmodules files with such URLs, allowing server operators to avoid serving them to downstream users running older versions of Git. This also means that when such URLs are passed on the command line, Git will print a clearer error so affected users can switch to the simpler URL that explicitly specifies the host and protocol they intend. One subtlety: .gitmodules files can contain relative URLs, representing a URL relative to the URL they were cloned from. The relative URL resolver used for .gitmodules can follow ".." components out of the path part and past the host part of a URL, meaning that such a relative URL can be used to traverse from a https://foo.example.com/innocent superproject to a https::attacker.example.com/exploit submodule. Fortunately a leading ':' in the first path component after a series of leading './' and '../' components is unlikely to show up in other contexts, so we can catch this by detecting that pattern.
