AI-suggested
European organizations should immediately audit their software dependencies to identify any usage of git-commiters versions prior to 0.1.2. They must upgrade all instances of git-commiters to version 0.1.2 or later, where the vulnerability is patched. For environments where immediate upgrade is not feasible, implement strict input validation and sanitization on any user-supplied parameters passed to git-commiters, avoiding direct shell command concatenation. Employ runtime application self-protection (RASP) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for suspicious command execution patterns. Restrict permissions of processes running git-commiters to the minimum necessary, limiting potential damage from exploitation. Incorporate security scanning tools in CI/CD pipelines to detect vulnerable dependencies automatically. Finally, educate development and DevOps teams about the risks of command injection and secure coding practices, emphasizing the importance of using secure APIs for process execution.
Description
git-commiters is a Node.js function module providing committers stats for their git repository. Prior to version 0.1.2, there is a command injection vulnerability in git-commiters. This vulnerability manifests with the library's primary exported API: gitCommiters(options, callback) which allows specifying options such as cwd for current working directory and revisionRange as a revision pointer, such as HEAD. However, the library does not sanitize for user input or practice secure process execution API to separate commands from their arguments and as such, uncontrolled user input is concatenated into command execution. This issue has been patched in version 0.1.2.
