mercurial: convert extension command injection via git repository names
Mercurial before 3.7.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted name when converting a Git repository.
It was discovered that the Mercurial convert extension failed to sanitize special characters in Git repository names. A Git repository with a specially crafted name could cause Mercurial to execute arbitrary code when the Git repository was converted to a Mercurial repository.

CVE-2016-3069 [HIGH] CVE-2016-3069 mercurial: convert extension command injection via git repository names
CVE-2016-3069 mercurial: convert extension command injection via git repository names
It was reported that Convert extension in mercurial is vulnerable to command execution.
Vulnerable code:
https://selenic.com/hg/file/28575/hgext/convert/git.py#l346
Incorrect handling of command line parameters allows passing a full Git remote URL via a directory name. The Git ext:: URL scheme can be used to obtain arbitrary command execution.
Furthermore, lack of escaping of shell metacharacters allows arbitrary command injection, which is another way of exploiting the vulnerable code.
