CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via URL. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.

2) Improper neutralization of argument delimiters in a command (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21613)

CWE-ID: CWE-88 - Argument Injection or Modification

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling URL field in arguments passed to the git-upload-pack command. A remote attacker can trick the victim into passing a specially crafted URL as a flag to the affected command and manipulate arguments for the git-upload-pack command, which can result in information disclosure.

3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21614)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling responses from a malicious Git server. A remote attacker can trick the victim into connecting to a malicious Git server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

4) Improper authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45337)

CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to the application.

The vulnerability exists due to improper authorization caused by improper usage of the ServerConfig.PublicKeyCallback callback. A remote attacker can bypass authorization in certain cases and gain access to the application.

5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45338)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in several Parse functions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

6) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12900)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the BZ2_decompress() function in decompress.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive, trick the victim into opening it using the affected library, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

7) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11023)

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:A/U:Clear

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when passing <option> elements to jQuery’s DOM manipulation methods. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.

8) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9287)

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the venv module when creating a virtual environment. A local user can pass specially crafted strings to the application and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.

9) Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10041)

CWE-ID: CWE-922 - Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to software stores secrets in memory in plain text. A local user can read the memory and obtain passwords in plain text when PAM is used to perform authentication.

10) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10963)

CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in pam_access module where certain rules in its configuration file are mistakenly treated as hostnames. A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the system.

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of bracketed hosts (e.g. []) within the urllib.parse.urlsplit() and urlparse() functions allowing hosts that weren't IPv6 or IPvFuture. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted IP address to the application to bypass implemented IP-based security checks or perform SSRF attacks.

12) Use of Uninitialized Variable (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12085)

CWE-ID: CWE-457 - Use of Uninitialized Variable

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
