Unauthenticated code execution via spoofed proxy header
Published Sep 13, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Improper authentication in OneDev before 7.3.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a Git hook callback endpoint. The pre-receive callback trusts X-Forwarded-For as proof of loopback origin and passes query-controlled environment variables to Git commands. Exposure without a reverse proxy that overwrites the header permits arbitrary file writes and complete server takeover.
