Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27613)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists in Gitk when cloning an untrusted repository and executing Gitk without additional command arguments. A remote attacker can abuse such behavior and overwrite or truncate any files on the system. 

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the "Support per-file encoding" option is enabled. 


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27614)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

A Git repository can be crafted in such a way that a user who has cloned the repository can be tricked into running any script supplied by the attacker by invoking `gitk filename`, where `filename` has a particular structure.


3) Product UI does not warn user of unsafe actions (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-46835)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to missing notifications in Git GUI when performing potentially dangerous actions. When a user clones an untrusted repository and is tricked into editing a file located in a maliciously named directory in the repository, then Git GUI can create and overwrite any writable file.


4) CRLF injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-48384)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of attacker-supplied data when reading config values. A remote user can pass specially crafted config lines to the application containing CR-LF characters and execute arbitrary code on the system after checkout.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-48385)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected client.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of bundle-uri parameter when cloning a repository. A remote attacker can trick the victim into cloning a specially crafted repository, perform a protocol injection attack and write code to arbitrary locations on the system, leading to remote code execution.
