Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2013-4490 exists.\n\nAffected product: Gitlab Gitlab. 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-2013-4490/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4490/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-4490","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4490/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-4490","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9hhr-gwc7-jcvh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GitLab shell","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can execute arbitrary commands on the server by injecting shell metacharacters into uploaded SSH public keys.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"gitlab","vendor":"gitlab"},{"product":"gitlab-shell","vendor":"gitlab"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The SSH key upload feature (lib/gitlab_keys.rb) in gitlab-shell before 1.7.3, as used in GitLab 5.0 before 5.4.1 and 6.x before 6.2.3, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the public key.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2013-11-04","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2013-11-04","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/multi/http/gitlab_shell_exec","stars":null,"title":"Gitlab-shell Code Execution"},{"date":"2014-08-19","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"34362","stars":null,"title":"Gitlab-shell - Code Execution (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-4490","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"gitlab:gitlab","products":["gitlab:gitlab"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2013"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"actionpack vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2013-4491"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"GitLab Grit Gem for Ruby contains a flaw allowing arbitrary commands to be executed","id":"CVE-2013-4489"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-05-13","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition Integer Overflow or Wraparound","id":"CVE-2026-97229","kev_date_added":"2026-10-29","published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-85706","kev_date_added":"2026-09-11","published":"2026-09-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2023-7028","kev_date_added":"2024-05-01","published":"2024-01-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-22205","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-04-23"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2021-39935","kev_date_added":"2026-02-03","published":"2021-12-13"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"GitLab Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2021-22175","kev_date_added":"2026-02-18","published":"2021-06-11"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound in GitLab","id":"CVE-2026-110264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-22"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can execute arbitrary commands on the server by injecting shell metacharacters into uploaded SSH public keys.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4490/"}
