NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream external-secrets-operator-2.6 package and not the external-secrets-operator-2.6 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

go-git is an extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. Prior to 5.19.2 and 6.0.0-alpha.5, worktree operations (including checkout, status, and add) resolve symbolic links inside the working tree without confining resolution to the worktree boundary, so a maliciously crafted repository containing a symlink can cause go-git to read from or write to files outside the intended working directory when the repository is cloned and its worktree operations are used. Versions 5.19.2 and 6.0.0-alpha.5.
