Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- The git hook feature in Gitea 1.1.0 through 1.12.5 might allow for authenticated remote code execution in
customer environments where the documentation was not understood (e.g., one viewpoint is that the
dangerousness of this feature should be documented immediately above the ENABLE_GIT_HOOKS line in the
config file). NOTE: The vendor has indicated this is not a vulnerability and states "This is a
functionality of the software that is limited to a very limited subset of accounts. If you give someone
the privilege to execute arbitrary code on your server, they can execute arbitrary code on your server. We
provide very clear warnings to users around this functionality and what it provides. (CVE-2020-14144)
