+ !! IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX FOR CONFIG USER SERVICE !!
+
+ There is a security vulnerability in version 1.9.2, which allows an attacker to gain
+ elevated access rights. This is present when the Config User Service is used as the
+ user service, which is the default.
+
+ Version 1.9.2 introduced a new implementation to store user data in the user config file
+ which holds user name, password, access rights etc. This was done to solve problems with
+ very large user bases (pr-1364). This new implementation does not properly escape all
+ control characters, like newline and tab. As a result, a normal user, when logged into
+ Gitblit, can edit his profile data and enter values in e.g. the email address that are
+ interpreted as control characters in the text file stored on disk. This allows the malicious
+ user to give themselves e.g. elevated access rights on their account.
+
+ This is fixed in 1.9.3. Updates of existing installations should be made to 1.9.3, not 1.9.2.
+
+ Many thanks to Github user @YYHYlh for finding and reporting this issue (issue-1410).
