  - Git LFS is a Git extension for versioning large files. When Git LFS requests credentials from Git for a
    remote host, it passes portions of the host's URL to the `git-credential(1)` command without checking for
    embedded line-ending control characters, and then sends any credentials it receives back from the Git
    credential helper to the remote host. By inserting URL-encoded control characters such as line feed (LF)
    or carriage return (CR) characters into the URL, an attacker may be able to retrieve a user's Git
    credentials. This problem exists in all previous versions and is patched in v3.6.1. All users should
    upgrade to v3.6.1. There are no workarounds known at this time. (CVE-2024-53263)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
