The Tsvncmd: URI handler allows a customised diff operation on Excel workbooks, which could be used to open remote workbooks without protection from macro security settings to execute arbitrary code. A tsvncmd:command:diff?path:[file1]?path2:[file2] URI will execute a customised diff on [file1] and [file2] based on the file extension. For xls files, it will execute the script diff-xls.js using wscript, which will open the two files for analysis without any macro security warning. An attacker can exploit this by putting a macro virus in a network drive, and force the victim to open the workbooks and execute the macro inside.","published":"2019-08-15T17:15:13.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:18:24.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":["tortoisesvn/tortoisesvn"],"epss":{"score":0.16391,"percentile":0.96955,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.13929,"percentile":0.96428},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.16391,"percentile":0.96825}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":false,"firstPublished":"2019-08-14","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":47252,"kind":"exploit","title":"TortoiseSVN 1.12.1 - Remote Code Execution","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/47252","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/windows/webapps/47252.txt","file":"exploits/windows/webapps/47252.txt","published":"2019-08-14","added":"2019-08-14","updated":"2019-08-14","author":"Vulnerability-Lab","type":"webapps","platform":"windows","port":null,"verified":false,"codes":["CVE-2019-14422"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":"http://www.exploit-db.comTortoiseSVN-1.12.1.28628-x64-svn-1.12.2.msi","screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":null}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 16.4%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs.
