Summary

Harness Allows Arbitrary File Write in Gitness LFS server

Details

Impact

Open Source Harness git LFS server (Gitness) exposes api to retrieve and upload files via git LFS. Implementation of upload git LFS file api is vulnerable to arbitrary file write. Due to improper sanitization for upload path, a malicious authenticated user who has access to Harness Gitness server api can use a crafted upload request to write arbitrary file to any location on file system, may even compromise the server.

Users using git LFS are vulnerable.

Patches

Users have to upgrade to v3.3.0 . All previous versions are affected by this vulnerability.

Severity

8.8 (High)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-29 17:44 – Updated: 2025-08-29 18:08

Title

Harness Affected by Arbitrary File Write in Gitness LFS server

Summary

Harness Open Source is an end-to-end developer platform with Source Control Management, CI/CD Pipelines, Hosted Developer Environments, and Artifact Registries. Prior to version 3.3.0, Open Source Harness git LFS server (Gitness) exposes api to retrieve and upload files via git LFS. Implementation of upload git LFS file api is vulnerable to arbitrary file write. Due to improper sanitization for upload path, a malicious authenticated user who has access to Harness Gitness server api can use a crafted upload request to write arbitrary file to any location on file system, may even compromise the server. Users using git LFS are vulnerable. This issue has been patched in version 3.3.0.
