CVE-2004-0778 affects GNU CVS versions 1.11.x before 1.11.17 and 1.12.x before 1.12.9. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files and directories by exploiting differing error messages when using the -X command for an alternate history file. With a CVSS score of 5.0, it is a low-severity vulnerability that requires no authentication and has a low attack complexity, primarily impacting confidentiality by disclosing file existence. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
