Description

This security bulletin contains information about 13 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11831)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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.


11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11168)

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)

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

The vulnerability exists due to information leak when comparing file checksums. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the daemon and read 1 byte of uninitialized memory from stack.


13) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35195)

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the session object does not verify requests after making first request with verify=False. A local administrator can bypass authentication.
