Description

All versions of gitting are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize input and passes it directly to an exec call, which may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the system. The pull function is vulnerable through the branch variable.

Recommendation

No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
