# Security digest: July 8, 2025

1 editorial brief.

## Take stock

- Check exposure: Git CVE-2025-48384: Recursive Clone Runs Attacker Hooks . Teams with macOS or Linux developer machines, CI runners or container images carrying Git older than the fixed releases, and anyone who clones third-party repositories with --recursive or via tools that do so by default.
- None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.

## Editorial briefs

- **Check exposure** [Git CVE-2025-48384: Recursive Clone Runs Attacker Hooks](https://erroneo.us/security/briefs/git-cve-2025-48384-submodule-carriage-return-rce/index.md): Most developer machines picked up the fix in 2025, but stale Git in CI images, build servers and unmanaged Macs is still exposed to a lure-based attack that has been used in the wild; check versions and stop recursive clones of untrusted repos.

## Known exploited (CISA KEV)

None.

## Critical advisories

None.
