CRLF injection vulnerability in the ui-blob handler in CGit before 0.12 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks or cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via CRLF sequences in the mimetype parameter, as demonstrated by a request to blob/cgit.c.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1899 affects CGit versions before 0.12. A remote attacker could manipulate a file content-type parameter so CGit emits unintended HTTP headers, potentially enabling response splitting or cross-site scripting. This is most relevant for public CGit web interfaces, not backend Git services alone. Exposure is likely limited to organizations running public or internal CGit web front ends below version 0.12, especially where blob views are reachable by unauthenticated users. Treat as a targeted web exposure cleanup item. Prioritize public CGit interfaces and legacy Linux hosts, but do not treat it as emergency-level without evidence of active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade CGit to version 0.12 or later.; Apply fixed Debian, Fedora, or openSUSE packages where applicable.; Confirm no legacy CGit package remains on exposed hosts..
