How to fix?

There is no fixed version for gitoxide-core.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements due to the handling of special characters in metadata such as repository paths, author and committer names, commit messages, or other metadata. An attacker can misrepresent repository contents and alter or concoct error messages by injecting special characters into these fields.

Notes:

  1. Users who do not clone or operate in clones of untrusted repositories are not impacted.

  2. Windows is much less affected than Unix-like systems.
