Git Shell Security Issues

Timo Schmid· Apr 25, 2017, 10:29 UTC · lore

Hi,

I've found a security issue in the git-shell command, which allows authenticated attackers to read files, partially write files and in some configurations to execute shell commands in the context of the remote user.

Should I report the details here or is there a security mailing list which I haven't found yet?

Thanks,
