CVE-2022-36069

25
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-36069 affects Poetry, a Python dependency manager, allowing for potential code execution. It arises when Poetry processes Git repository URLs containing user-supplied input that begins with a dash, causing it to be interpreted as an optional argument rather than a positional one. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.3 (HIGH) due to its high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though it requires user interaction and local access. While not actively exploited or having public exploit code, it poses a risk to developers handling untrusted files.
