Hi,

The following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was published for 
snoopy, which affects the embedded copy shipped by gforge-plugin-scmcvs [0].

CVE-2008-4796[1]:
> The _httpsrequest function (Snoopy/Snoopy.class.php) in Snoopy 1.2.3
> and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via
> shell metacharacters in https URLs.  NOTE: some of these details are
> obtained from third party information.

The patch for a later version of Snoopy.class.php can be found at [2] which 
shouldn't be too hard to backport.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE id in 
the changelog entry.
