  - It is possible to obtain a user's NTLM hash by tricking them into cloning a
    malicious repository, or checking out a malicious branch that
    accesses an attacker-controlled server. By default, NTLM
    authentication does not need any user interaction. GitHub
    created this CVE on their behalf. The documented Visual Studio
    updates incorporate updates in Git which address this
    vulnerability.
