I am not (only) talking about portability here. My main concern is the
current spate of bash vulnerabilities. As John pointed out earlier [1],
these can be used to remotely exploit any cgit setup that uses a bash
filter. We currently have at least five CVEs, some of which are very
critical. So if you really want to use bash, you should at least closely
follow the developments and always update your bash binary when there's
a new security patch.
