"The version of git installed on the remote host is prior to 2.47.1-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2737 advisory.

    Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that
    provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When Git asks for credentials via a
    terminal prompt (i.e. without using any credential helper), it prints out the host name for which the user
    is expected to provide a username and/or a password. At this stage, any URL-encoded parts have been
    decoded already, and are printed verbatim. This allows attackers to craft URLs that contain ANSI escape
    sequences that the terminal interpret to confuse users e.g. into providing passwords for trusted Git
    hosting sites when in fact they are then sent to untrusted sites that are under the attacker's control.
    This issue has been patch via commits `7725b81` and `c903985` which are included in release versions
    v2.48.1, v2.47.1, v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4. Users are advised to
    upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive clones.
    (CVE-2024-50349)

    Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that
    provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git defines a line-based protocol that
    is used to exchange information between Git and Git credential helpers. Some ecosystems (most notably,
    .NET and node.js) interpret single Carriage Return characters as newlines, which renders the protections
    against CVE-2020-5260 incomplete for credential helpers that treat Carriage Returns in this way. This
    issue has been addressed in commit `b01b9b8` which is included in release versions v2.48.1, v2.47.1,
    v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4. Users are advised to upgrade. Users
    unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive clones. (CVE-2024-52006)
