EUVDB-ID: #VU7886
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9800
CWE-ID:
CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The weakness exists due to command injection flaw. A remote attacker (e.g., repository, proxy server) can return a specially crafted 'svn+ssh://' URL during 'checkout', 'export', 'update', and 'switch' commands and execute arbitrary shell commands with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
Update the affected packages.
