2012-01-27 Release of this advisory
[ Overview ]
Gitorious is a Git repository management software written in Ruby
on Rails.
[ Description ]
Gitorious has been found vulnerable to unauthenticated remote
command execution.
Root cause is in gitorious-mainline/lib/gitorious/git_shell.rb:
def execute(command)
Timeout.timeout(20) do
`#{command}`
end
rescue Timeout::Error
called by app/controllers/api/graphs_controller.rb:
def graph_log(repo, type, branch = nil)
args = [repo.full_repository_path, "--decorate=full", "-100",
type]
args << desplat_path(branch) if branch
git_shell.send(:graph_log, *args)
end
where branch is user controlled via route:
api.connect ':project_id/:repository_id/log/graph/*branch',
:controller => 'graphs', :action => 'show'
[ Example ]
