            "summary": "Remote code execution in dependabot-core branch names when cloning\n### Impact\nRemote code execution vulnerability in `dependabot-common` and  `dependabot-go_modules` when a source branch name contains malicious injectable bash code.\n\nFor example, if Dependabot is configured to use the following source branch name: `\"/$({curl,127.0.0.1})\"`, Dependabot will make a HTTP request to the following URL: 127.0.0.1 when cloning the source repository.\n\nWhen Dependabot is configured to clone the source repository during an update, Dependabot runs a shell command to git clone the repository:\n\n```bash\ngit clone --no-tags --no-recurse-submodules --depth=1 --branch=<BRANCH> --single-branch <GITHUB_REPO_URL> repo/contents/path\n```\n\nDependabot will always clone the source repository for `go_modules` during the file fetching step and can be configured to clone the repository for other package managers using the `FileFetcher` class from `dependabot-common`.\n\n```ruby\nsource = Dependabot::Source.new(\n  provider: \"github\",\n  repo: \"repo/name\",\n  directory: \"/\",\n  branch: \"/$({curl,127.0.0.1})\",\n)\n\nrepo_contents_path = \"./file/path\"\nfetcher = Dependabot::FileFetchers.for_package_manager(\"bundler\").\n                  new(source: source, credentials: [],\n                  repo_contents_path: repo_contents_path)\nfetcher.clone_repo_contents\n```\n\n### Patches\n\nThe fix was applied to version `0.125.1`: https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/pull/2727\n\n### Workarounds\nEscape the branch name prior to passing it to the `Dependabot::Source` class.\n\nFor example using `shellwords`:\n\n```ruby\nrequire \"shellwords\"\nbranch = Shellwords.escape(\"/$({curl,127.0.0.1})\")\nsource = Dependabot::Source.new(\n  provider: \"github\",\n  repo: \"repo/name\",\n  directory: \"/\",\n  branch: branch,\n)\n```",
