The Git community has disclosed an industry-wide security vulnerability in Git that can lead to arbitrary code execution when a user operates in a malicious repository. This vulnerability has been assigned CVE 2018-11235 by Mitre, the organization that assigns unique numbers to track security vulnerabilities in software.

Git 2.17.1 and Git for Windows 2.17.1 (2) were released today and include this fix. The Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) team takes security issues very seriously, and we encourage all users to update their Git clients as soon as possible to fix this vulnerability.

If you’re using Git for Windows, please download the latest version — 2.17.1 (2) — from https://gitforwindows.org/. Visual Studio 2017 is being patched now and a hotfix will be available soon – we will update this post with links as they are available.
