"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-090421 advisory.

    Affected versions of Git have a vulnerability whereby Git can be tricked into sending private credentials
    to a host controlled by an attacker. Git uses external credential helper programs to store and retrieve
    passwords or other credentials from secure storage provided by the operating system. Specially-crafted
    URLs that contain an encoded newline can inject unintended values into the credential helper protocol
    stream, causing the credential helper to retrieve the password for one server (e.g., good.example.com) for
    an HTTP request being made to another server (e.g., evil.example.com), resulting in credentials for the
    former being sent to the latter. There are no restrictions on the relationship between the two, meaning
    that an attacker can craft a URL that will present stored credentials for any host to a host of their
    choosing. The vulnerability can be triggered by feeding a malicious URL to git clone. However, the
    affected URLs look rather suspicious; the likely vector would be through systems which automatically clone
    URLs not visible to the user, such as Git submodules, or package systems built around Git. The problem has
    been patched in the versions published on April 14th, 2020, going back to v2.17.x. Anyone wishing to
    backport the change further can do so by applying commit 9a6bbee (the full release includes extra checks
    for git fsck, but that commit is sufficient to protect clients against the vulnerability). The patched
    versions are: 2.17.4, 2.18.3, 2.19.4, 2.20.3, 2.21.2, 2.22.3, 2.23.2, 2.24.2, 2.25.3, 2.26.1.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
