NewCVE-2025-48386 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade git/git to version 2.43.7, 2.44.4, 2.45.4, 2.46.4, 2.47.3, 2.48.2, 2.49.1, 2.50.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via improper bounds checking in the wincred credential helper. An attacker can cause a buffer overflow by supplying crafted input that exceeds the static buffer's capacity when appended using the wcsncat function.
Workaround
For users that are unable to upgrade to the fixed version it is recommended to avoid using the wincred helper in the meantime if upgrading is not possible.
