What are the Security Vulnerabilities of using TortoiseSVN?

[Abhay Sudhakaran]

We are planning to use Tortoise SVN to manage our Qlikview Applications, that host sensitive data. Are there any security vulnerabilities related that we should be aware of ?

Kind Regards,

In what way are you planing to use TSVN to "manage" the applications
and their data?

Thanks for responding to my request. We would be using it to manage source code of out Qlikview Apps like any version control system.
The application project files will have datamarts that contain sensitive company data. So basically I just wanted to know if there are any possible security vulnerabilities that can pose a serious threat for company wide adoption ?

You shouldn't be managing any actual *data* in a Subversion repository
unless you have a really, really good reason (and a way to manage the
repository bloat).

I wouldn't consider it any more "vulnerable" than any other method of
storing your files on your network. It really comes down to having the
proper access controls, policies & procedures in place to make sure
that the humans involved aren't doing things they shouldn't be.
