+### Response to CVE-2022-24765
+
+The vulnerability described in this CVE could impact users working on multi-user machines.
+A malicious actor could create a `.git` directory above the current working directory causing all git invocations to occur outside of a repository to read its configuration.
+
+For a more in-depth description of this vulnerability, check out [this blog post](https://github.blog/2022-04-12-git-security-vulnerability-announced/).
+
+Fixes were released in Git versions 2.35.2 and 1:2.25.1-1ubuntu3.4 respectively.
+
+VCSRepo users were impacted when running newer versions of Git and managing repositories that were owned by a user or group that differed from the user executing Git.
+
+For example, setting the `owner` parameter on a resource would cause Puppet runs to fail with a `Path /destination/path exists and is not the desired repository.` error.
+
+Impacted users are now advised to use the new `safe_directory` parameter on Git resources.
+Explicitily setting the value to `true` will add the current path specified on the resource to the `safe.directory` git configuration for the current user (global scope) allowing the Puppet run to continue without error.
