Technical details

An argument injection vulnerability exists in Prefect's GitRepository Pull Handler within 'src/prefect/runner/storage.py'. The issue stems from improper neutralization of special elements in the 'commit_sha' and 'directories' arguments used during Git pull steps. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by providing crafted input that is interpreted as command-line arguments by the underlying Git process. This can lead to unauthorized code execution or data manipulation within the runner's context. The vulnerability is addressed in version 3.6.25.dev7.
