CVE-2022-25766Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via git fetch arguments

Published Mar 21, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Argument injection in Ungit before 1.5.20 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands through the /api/fetch endpoint. The handler passes remote and ref request-body values as git fetch arguments without an option terminator, allowing a crafted --upload-pack value to select an attacker-controlled command. Access to an authenticated Ungit session and a valid repository path is required, and commands run with the Ungit server process's privileges.
