Gitlist before 0.5.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the file name in the URI of a request for a (1) blame, (2) file, or (3) stats page, as demonstrated by requests to blame/master/, master/, and stats/master/.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-4511 is a remote command execution flaw in Gitlist versions before 0.5.0. A malicious request can place shell metacharacters in a URI filename and make the server execute commands. For an exposed Gitlist service, this can become server compromise, not just repository browsing risk. Exposure is most likely where legacy Gitlist instances below 0.5.0 are reachable over HTTP. Internet-facing repository viewers are the highest concern. Internal-only instances still matter if attackers can reach them through VPN, compromised workstations, or adjacent web access. Treat exposed legacy Gitlist as a high-priority remediation item. The business risk is disproportionate to the size of the component because the flaw can allow server-side command execution and public exploit material exists. Prioritize internet-facing instances first. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Gitlist installations below 0.5.0 to 0.5.0 or later, validating against vendor guidance.; Restrict public access to Gitlist until patched, especially blame, file, and stats views.; Remove or disable obsolete Gitlist deployments that are no longer needed..
