9.9 CRITICAL

Network-reachable API with low complexity and no UI; requires project Manager/Owner so PR:L; git option injection yields OS command execution escaping the app to the host, giving S:C and full C/I/A:H.

DescriptionCVE.org

Semaphore UI is a web interface for managing DevOps tools. Prior to 2.18.17 and 2.19.5-beta2, repository git_url handling passes an attacker-controlled --upload-pack option to CmdGitClient.GetLastRemoteCommitHash through POST /api/project/{id}/repositories and scheduled commit-hash polling, allowing a project Manager or Owner to execute arbitrary OS commands in the Semaphore server process. This issue is fixed in versions 2.18.17 and 2.19.5-beta2.

AnalysisAI

Argument (git option) injection in Semaphore UI before 2.18.17 and 2.19.5-beta2 lets a project Manager or Owner achieve OS command execution on the server by supplying a repository git_url beginning with a dash (e.g. --upload-pack=/tmp/evil.sh). …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain project Manager/Owner account
Delivery
Submit repository with git_url '--upload-pack=/tmp/evil.sh'
Exploit
git ls-remote parses value as option
Execution
Scheduled polling triggers execution
Persist
Arbitrary OS commands run as Semaphore process
Impact
Full server/host compromise

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires an authenticated account holding the project Manager or Owner role (PR:L); it is not exploitable by anonymous or read-only users. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are largely consistent and point to a genuine high priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated user with Manager or Owner rights on any project creates or edits a repository and sets git_url to '--upload-pack=/tmp/evil.sh' (or points it at an attacker-staged script). When Semaphore next runs ls-remote - either immediately on save or during scheduled commit-hash polling - git interprets the value as an option and executes the referenced program as the Semaphore server process, yielding arbitrary OS command execution. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Semaphore UI 2.18.17 (stable) or 2.19.5-beta2 (pre-release), which add server-side ValidateGitURL rejection of dash-prefixed repository URLs and pass '--end-of-options' to git before the URL in clone/pull/ls-remote operations; see GHSA-xp7j-h7jc-4w8p and commits 7e8a9434bd81b82cf42220151c74801ea97542d6 and a7a7a33a64aea382a0726b3722856f298663eacf. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, immediately audit all Semaphore installations to identify vulnerable versions prior to 2.18.17 or 2.19.5-beta2, restrict project manager role assignments to essential personnel only, and enable detailed logging of all git repository configuration changes. …
