Sandbox escape via Git hooks
Fix: upgrade to 2.5 or later
Impact
Sandbox escape via writing .git configuration was possible in versions prior to 2.5. A malicious agent (ie prompt injection) could write to improperly protected .git settings, including git hooks, which may cause out-of-sandbox RCE next time they are triggered. No user interaction was required as Git executes these commands automatically.

Fixed in version 2.5
