"The version of git installed on the remote host is prior to 2.47.3-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2941 advisory.

    When a user clones an untrusted repository and runs Gitk without additional command arguments, any
    writable file can be created and truncated. The option Support per-file encoding must have been enabled.
    The operation Show origin of this line is affected as well, regardless of the option being enabled or
    not. (CVE-2025-27613)

    A Git repository can be crafted in such a way that a user who has cloned the repository can be tricked
    into running any script supplied by the attacker by invoking `gitk filename`, where `filename` has a
    particular structure. (CVE-2025-27614)

    When a user clones an untrusted repository and is tricked into editing a file located in a maliciously
    named directory in the repository, then Git GUI can create and overwrite any writable file.
    (CVE-2025-46835)

    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 reading a config value, Git strips
    any trailing carriage return and line feed (CRLF). When writing a config entry, values with a trailing CR
    are not quoted, causing the CR to be lost when the config is later read. When initializing a submodule, if
    the submodule path contains a trailing CR, the altered path is read resulting in the submodule being
    checked out to an incorrect location. If a symlink exists that points the altered path to the submodule
    hooks directory, and the submodule contains an executable post-checkout hook, the script may be
    unintentionally executed after checkout. This vulnerability is fixed in v2.43.7, v2.44.4, v2.45.4,
    v2.46.4, v2.47.3, v2.48.2, v2.49.1, and v2.50.1. (CVE-2025-48384)

    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 cloning a repository Git knows to
    optionally fetch a bundle advertised by the remote server, which allows the server-side to offload parts
    of the clone to a CDN. The Git client does not perform sufficient validation of the advertised bundles,
    which allows the remote side to perform protocol injection. This protocol injection can cause the client
    to write the fetched bundle to a location controlled by the adversary. The fetched content is fully
    controlled by the server, which can in the worst case lead to arbitrary code execution. The use of bundle
    URIs is not enabled by default and can be controlled by the bundle.heuristic config option. Some cases of
    the vulnerability require that the adversary is in control of where a repository will be cloned to. This
    either requires social engineering or a recursive clone with submodules. These cases can thus be avoided
    by disabling recursive clones. This vulnerability is fixed in v2.43.7, v2.44.4, v2.45.4, v2.46.4, v2.47.3,
    v2.48.2, v2.49.1, and v2.50.1. (CVE-2025-48385)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
