Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-5916 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5916/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5916/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5916","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5916/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5916","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-52fx-g623-mw3m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Git web interface","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local repository owners can execute arbitrary commands on the server by modifying the diff.external configuration and triggering a crafted gitweb query.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"git","vendor":"git"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"gitweb/gitweb.perl in gitweb in Git 1.6.x before 1.6.0.6, 1.5.6.x before 1.5.6.6, 1.5.5.x before 1.5.5.6, 1.5.4.x before 1.5.4.7, and other versions after 1.4.3 allows local repository owners to execute arbitrary commands by modifying the diff.external configuration variable and executing a crafted gitweb query.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5916","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":14,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5917"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5915"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-01-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Git's recursive clones on case-insensitive filesystems that support symlinks are susceptible to Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2024-32002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"The sideband payload is passed unfiltered to the terminal in git","id":"CVE-2024-52005","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-15"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-01-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3546","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-07"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0477","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-01-31"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-2108","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-06-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local repository owners can execute arbitrary commands on the server by modifying the diff.external configuration and triggering a crafted gitweb query.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5916/"}
