Description
Soft Serve is a self-hostable Git server for the command line. In versions prior to 0.10.0, there are several places where the user can insert data (e.g. names) and ANSI escape sequences are not being removed, which can then be used, for example, to show fake alerts. In the same token, git messages, when printed, are also not being sanitized. This issue is fixed in version 0.10.0.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Soft Serve versions prior to 0.10.0, where user input such as names and git messages are not properly sanitized to remove ANSI escape sequences. These sequences can be exploited to display fake alerts or misleading information in the command line interface.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could use this vulnerability to inject ANSI escape sequences that display fake alerts or misleading messages, potentially causing confusion or tricking users into taking unintended actions. However, the impact is limited to information integrity and does not affect availability.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Soft Serve to version 0.10.0 or later, as this version fixes the issue by properly sanitizing user input and git messages to remove ANSI escape sequences.
