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.","severity":{"version":"3.0","score":8.8,"vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","level":"high","assessor":"primary","from":"nvd"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-08","score":0.16391,"percentile":0.96991,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":true,"fix_available":false},"published":"2019-08-15T16:02:12Z","modified":"2026-06-17T02:18:24Z","exploits":[{"source":"exploitdb","id":"EDB-47252","title":"TortoiseSVN 1.12.1 - Remote Code Execution","type":"webapps","platform":"windows","date":"2019-08-14","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/47252"}],"products":[{"vendor":"tortoisesvn","product":"tortoisesvn"}],"references":[{"url":"https://www.vulnerability-lab.com/get_content.php?id=2188","tags":["x_refsource_MISC","x_transferred","Exploit","Third Party Advisory"]},{"url":"http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2019/Aug/7","tags":["mailing-list","x_refsource_FULLDISC","x_transferred","Exploit","Mailing List","Third Party Advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-14422"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-4gp2-c6v2-cw7v"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2019-14422","description":"An issue was discovered in in TortoiseSVN 1.12.1.
