**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:**

Gitk versions 2.41.0 through 2.43.6

Git versions 2.50.1-alt1

**Description:**

Gitk, a Tcl/Tk based Git history browser, contains a flaw where a crafted Git repository can be used to trick a user into executing arbitrary scripts with their user privileges via the `gitk filename` command. This is possible due to a lack of sanitization of special elements. Exploitation requires social engineering.

**Recommendations:**

Update Gitk to version 2.43.7 or later.

Update Git to version 2.50.1-alt1.
