Ralf S. Engelschall has reported a vulnerability in CVSTrac, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks and cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

Input when editing wiki pages or opening a new ticket is not properly sanitised before it is used in an SQL query in "is_repository_file()" within format.c. This can be exploited to conduct limited SQL injection attacks that e.g. can result in SQLite errors and cause a DoS.

Successful exploitation requires privileges to edit wiki pages or to open new tickets.

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.0.0. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Update to version 2.0.1.
