A user could run a Git command inside the bare repository thinking that the config file of the 'outer' repository would be used, but in reality, the bare repository's config file (which is attacker-controlled) is used, which may result in arbitrary code execution. See [1] for a fuller description and deeper discussion. A simple mitigation is to forbid bare repositories unless specified via `--git-dir` or `GIT_DIR`. In environments that don't use bare repositories, this would be minimally disruptive. Create a config variable, `discovery.bare`, that tells Git whether or not to die() when it discovers a bare repository. This only affects repository discovery, thus it has no effect if discovery was not done (e.g. `--git-dir` was passed). This config is an enum of: - "always": always allow bare repositories (this is the default) - "never": never allow bare repositories If we want to protect users from such attacks by default, neither value will suffice - "always" provides no protection, but "never" is impractical for bare repository users. A more usable default would be to allow only non-embedded bare repositories ([2] contains one such proposal), but detecting if a repository is embedded is potentially non-trivial, so this work is not implemented in this series.
