Short explanation
Gitea substitutes a URL derived from the markup Context field into external renderer command templates without escaping the reference path before shell-style argument splitting. A crafted Context can lead to argument injection and code execution.
It can allow arbitrary code execution under the Gitea service account via endpoints that may be reachable without authentication.
What should be done?
- Review the provided patch references
- Upgrade Gitea to the fixed release
- Follow vendor advisories
Chain of evidence and sources
Gitea, işaretleme Context alanından türetilen bir URL'yi harici oluşturucu komut şablonlarına yerleştirirken referans yolunu kaçış karakteriyle korumaz.
Pandoc gibi duyarlı bir harici oluşturucu kullanan dağıtımlarda, filtre dosyası yerleştirebilen bir kullanıcı kod yürütülmesine neden olabilir.
Show the technical text from the sources
Gitea substitutes a URL derived from the markup Context field into external renderer command templates without escaping the reference path before shell-style argument splitting. A crafted Context can inject additional renderer arguments, including options that load executable filter files. On deployments using a susceptible external renderer such as pandoc, a user who can place a filter file at an accessible path can cause it to execute as the Gitea service account; the public repository markup endpoint itself can be reachable without authentication.
