{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-27614","details":"Gitk is a Tcl/Tk based Git history browser. Starting with 2.41.0, a Git repository can be crafted in such a way that with some social engineering a user who has cloned the repository can be tricked into running any script (e.g., Bourne shell, Perl, Python, ...) supplied by the attacker by invoking gitk filename, where filename has a particular structure. The script is run with the privileges of the user. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.43.7, 2.44.4, 2.45.4, 2.46.4, 2.47.3, 2.48.2, 2.49.1, and 2.50.","modified":"2026-02-04T04:34:36.252319Z","published":"2025-07-08T17:00:00Z","related":["USN-7626-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2025-27614"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-27614"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-27614"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/07/08/4"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7626-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"git","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/git@1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"}]}],"versions":["1:2.40.1-1ubuntu1","1:2.43.0-1ubuntu1","1:2.43.0-1ubuntu5","1:2.43.0-1ubuntu6","1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7","1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.1","1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"git","binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"},{"binary_name":"git-all","binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"},{"binary_name":"git-cvs","binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"},{"binary_name":"git-daemon-run","binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"},{"binary_name":"git-daemon-sysvinit","binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"},{"binary_name":"git-email","binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"},{"binary_name":"git-gui","binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"},{"binary_name":"git-man","binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"},{"binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3","binary_name":"git-mediawiki"},{"binary_name":"git-svn","binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"},{"binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3","binary_name":"gitk"},{"binary_name":"gitweb","binary_version":"1:2.43.0-1ubuntu7.3"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-27614.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
