Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for composer.

CVE-2024-35242[0]:
| Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. On the 2.x branch prior to
| versions 2.2.24 and 2.7.7, the `composer install` command running
| inside a git/hg repository which has specially crafted branch names
| can lead to command injection. This requires cloning untrusted
| repositories. Patches are available in version 2.2.24 for 2.2 LTS or
| 2.7.7 for mainline. As a workaround, avoid cloning potentially
| compromised repositories.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
