"The version of git installed on the remote host is prior to 2.36.1-1.75. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1589 advisory.
- Git for Windows is a fork of Git containing Windows-specific patches. This vulnerability affects users
working on multi-user machines, where untrusted parties have write access to the same hard disk. Those
untrusted parties could create the folder `C:\.git`, which would be picked up by Git operations run
supposedly outside a repository while searching for a Git directory. Git would then respect any config in
said Git directory. Git Bash users who set `GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE` are vulnerable as well. Users who
installed posh-gitare vulnerable simply by starting a PowerShell. Users of IDEs such as Visual Studio are
vulnerable: simply creating a new project would already read and respect the config specified in
`C:\.git\config`. Users of the Microsoft fork of Git are vulnerable simply by starting a Git Bash. The
problem has been patched in Git for Windows v2.35.2. Users unable to upgrade may create the folder `.git`
on all drives where Git commands are run, and remove read/write access from those folders as a workaround.
Alternatively, define or extend `GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES` to cover the _parent_ directory of the user
profile, e.g. `C:\Users` if the user profile is located in `C:\Users\my-user-name`. (CVE-2022-24765)
