A flaw was found in flatpak-builder where Git hooks are not disabled when applying patch sources with use-git-am: true. An attacker who can provide a malicious source containing a Git post-applypatch hook can cause the hook to execute on the host during the build process, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running flatpak-builder.

Submit a proof of concept
Only for publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, and only material from testing you were authorised to perform. This platform does not buy, sell, or broker exploits — see earning from vulnerability research for legitimate bounty programs. Submissions are reviewed before they appear. Text only; do not include live credentials, personal data, or anything targeting systems you are not permitted to test.
