  - Git before 2.10.5, 2.11.x before 2.11.4, 2.12.x before 2.12.5, 2.13.x before 2.13.6, and 2.14.x before
    2.14.2 uses unsafe Perl scripts to support subcommands such as cvsserver, which allows attackers to
    execute arbitrary OS commands via shell metacharacters in a module name. The vulnerable code is reachable
    via git-shell even without CVS support. (CVE-2017-14867)
