CVE-2022-24066 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The package simple-git before 3.5.0 are vulnerable to Command Injection due to an incomplete fix of [CVE-2022-24433](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-SIMPLEGIT-2421199) which only patches against the git fetch attack vector. A similar use of the --upload-pack feature of git is also supported for git clone, which the prior fix didn't cover.. EPSS estimates a 4.07% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
