Title: OSSP Shiela Shell Command Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
OSSP Shiela is an access control and logging tool for CVS. CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is used to manage changes in the application development cycle.
The application is susceptible to a shell command-execution vulnerability. The application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in a 'system()' function call.
Users who have the ability to commit files to the CVS system can exploit this issue by composing malicious CVE repository files, and then executing malicious CVE commands containing the '&', ';' and '|' characters.
This issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of users executing a vulnerable version of the application.
This issue reportedly affects versions 1.1.5 and prior; other versions may also be affected.
