CVE-2022-21223 is a critical command injection vulnerability affecting cocoapods-downloader versions prior to 1.6.2. An attacker can exploit this by manipulating the URL, revision, tag, or branch arguments when the download function is called with Mercurial (hg), allowing arbitrary command execution. With a CVSS score of 9.8, this vulnerability poses a severe risk of complete compromise (confidentiality, integrity, availability) due to its network-based attack vector and low attack complexity. While no active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion has been observed, the high FAUCET Risk Score of 79/100 indicates its potential severity.
