Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere via the git clone due to delayed response to ntlm_allow=1 flag. An attacker can obtain NTLM hashes by tricking a user into cloning a malicious repository or checking out a malicious branch that causes authentication attempts to an attacker-controlled server.
