CVE-2017-9800
9.8
CRITICAL · CVSS 3.0 · EPSS 18.9% (pctl 97)
Patch early
EPSS 18.9% — above the 10% action threshold.
Description
A maliciously constructed svn+ssh:// URL would cause Subversion clients before 1.8.19, 1.9.x before 1.9.7, and 1.10.0.x through 1.10.0-alpha3 to run an arbitrary shell command. Such a URL could be generated by a malicious server, by a malicious user committing to a honest server (to attack another user of that server's repositories), or by a proxy server. The vulnerability affects all clients, including those that use file://, http://, and plain (untunneled) svn://.
