"The version of packer installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-21613 advisory.
- go-git is a highly extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. An argument injection
vulnerability was discovered in go-git versions prior to v5.13. Successful exploitation of this
vulnerability could allow an attacker to set arbitrary values to git-upload-pack flags. This only happens
when the file transport protocol is being used, as that is the only protocol that shells out to git
binaries. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.13.0. (CVE-2025-21613)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
