Exploit git integrations in SaaS and cloud services -- argument injection per git subcommand, JGit vs native git attack path selection, .git/config append-only takeover, error-based file read via --pathspec-from-file, and symlink-based filesystem escape. Use when target has git-backed features like web IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, deployment from repo, LookML/Dataform-style config, or any feature that clones/pulls/commits on the server side.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Git Integration Exploitation

Systematic audit methodology for SaaS services that integrate git server-side. The attack surface is not git itself -- it is the service's assumptions about what git operations are safe.

## When to Use

- Target has a web IDE, notebook, or config editor backed by git
- CI/CD pipeline clones user-controlled repos
- Deployment feature pulls from git (Heroku-style, Cloud Build, Dataform)
- Service accepts git URLs as input (import, migration, dependency resolution)
- `.git/` directory or git CLI invocation visible in errors, headers, or source

## Recon: Identify the Git Implementation

The first decision point. Different implementations have different exploitable surfaces.

| Implementation | Hooks | fsmonitor | symlinks | Argument injection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Native git CLI** | Yes | Yes | Yes (Linux/macOS default) | Yes |
| **JGit (Java)** | No | No | Only if `core.symlinks=true` in config | No (API-based) |
| **libgit2 / go-git** | No | No | Varies | No (API-based) |

**How to fingerprint:**
- Error messages: Java stack traces (JGit), C/Go traces (libgit2/go-git), shell errors (native)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/git-integration-exploitation@sha256:10fee8ffdbe07a56

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260706.00661a3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
