CVE-2013-4582
Description
The (1) create_branch, (2) create_tag, (3) import_project, and (4) fork_project functions in lib/gitlab_projects.rb in GitLab 5.0 before 5.4.2, Community Edition before 6.2.4, Enterprise Edition before 6.2.1 and gitlab-shell before 1.7.8 allows remote authenticated users to include information from local files into the metadata of a Git repository via the web interface.
Summary dbcve.org
This is a local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in GitLab's project management functions (create_branch, create_tag, import_project, fork_project) in lib/gitlab_projects.rb. Remote authenticated users can include content from local files into Git repository metadata via the web interface, potentially exposing sensitive system files.
Mitigation
Upgrade GitLab to versions 5.4.2+, 6.2.4+, or 6.2.1+ (Community/Enterprise Edition) and gitlab-shell to 1.7.8 or later. Until patched, restrict web interface access and limit user permissions to reduce attack surface.
