Advisories for Maven/Org.scala-Sbt/Sbt package

On Windows, sbt uses Process("cmd", "/c", …) to run VCS commands (git, hg, svn). The URI fragment (branch, tag, revision) is user-controlled via the build definition and passed to these commands without validation. Because cmd /c interprets &, |, and ; as command separators, a malicious fragment can execute arbitrary commands.

sbt is a build tool for Scala, Java, and others. Given a specially crafted zip or JAR file, IO.unzip allows writing of arbitrary file. This would have potential to overwrite /root/.ssh/authorized_keys. Within sbt's main code, IO.unzip is used in pullRemoteCache task and Resolvers.remote; however many projects use IO.unzip(…) directly to implement custom tasks. This vulnerability has been patched in version 1.9.7.
