CVE-2024-47516Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via Git option injection

Published Mar 25, 2025 · Updated Aug 12, 2025

Argument injection in Pagure 5.14.1 allows remote attackers to execute code on the server through a repository-history request. PagureRepo.log() passes the identifier query parameter to git log as fromref without an end-of-options marker, so --output writes attacker-controlled commit history to an arbitrary writable file. Exploitation requires a repository with crafted commit messages; overwriting the git account's .bashrc causes the server to run those messages as shell commands during SSH access.
