CVE-2025-50978: Gitblit

Medium severity, CVSS 6.1. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In Gitblit v1.7.1, a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the way repository path names are handled. By injecting a specially crafted path payload an attacker can cause arbitrary JavaScript to execute when a victim views the manipulated URL. This flaw stems from insufficient input sanitization of filename elements.
