Research direction

Start by reading the linked sections of src/repo_routes.v, src/commit_routes.v, and src/repo_service.v at the cited lines. Trace the inputs through these paths and audit for other possible injection points. Done means the reported vulnerabilities and any related injection points are addressed and verified without leaving command-injection paths.
