Subject: [PATCH v2 04/10] promisor-remote: reject empty name or URL in advertised remote
Date: Tue,  7 Apr 2026 13:52:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407115243.358642-5-christian.couder@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260407115243.358642-1-christian.couder@gmail.com>

In parse_one_advertised_remote(), we check for a NULL remote name and
remote URL, but not for empty ones. An empty URL seems possible as
url_percent_decode("") doesn't return NULL.

In promisor_config_info_list(), we ignore remotes with empty URLs, so a
Git server should not advertise remotes with empty URLs. It's possible
that a buggy or malicious server would do it though.

So let's tighten the check in parse_one_advertised_remote() to also
reject empty strings at parse time.
