Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—

gitolite commit fa06a34 through 3.5.3 might allow attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors involving world-writable permissions when creating (1) ~/.gitolite.rc, (2) ~/.gitolite, or (3) ~/repositories/gitolite-admin.git on fresh installs.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
