CVE-2015-7545 describes a critical vulnerability in Git versions prior to 2.3.10, 2.4.10, 2.5.4, and 2.6.1, specifically affecting the git-remote-ext and other remote helper programs. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious URLs within .gitmodules files or other unspecified sources in submodules, due to insufficient protocol restrictions. With a CVSS v3 score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with no user interaction, leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its high severity and EPSS score, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
