CWE-527: Exposure of Version-Control Repository to an Unauthorized Control Sphere
CWE版本: 4.18
更新日期: 2025-09-09
弱点描述
The product stores a CVS, git, or other repository in a directory, archive, or other resource that is stored, transferred, or otherwise made accessible to unauthorized actors.
扩展描述
Version control repositories such as CVS or git store version-specific metadata and other details within subdirectories. If these subdirectories are stored on a web server or added to an archive, then these could be used by an attacker. This information may include usernames, filenames, path root, IP addresses, and detailed "diff" data about how files have been changed - which could reveal source code snippets that were never intended to be made public.
常见后果
影响范围: Confidentiality
技术影响: Read Application Data Read Files or Directories
潜在缓解措施
阶段: Operation Distribution System Configuration
描述: Recommendations include removing any CVS directories and repositories from the production server, disabling the use of remote CVS repositories, and ensuring that the latest CVS patches and version updates have been performed.
