"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- gitoxide is an implementation of git written in Rust. Prior to 0.13.3, the gix-sec crate on Windows
incorrectly treats repositories controlled by another user as trusted when an administrator runs a
dependent program with an unfiltered elevated token. In gix-sec/src/identity.rs,
gix_sec::identity::is_path_owned_by_current_user obtains folder_owner and token_owner, but its
administrator-specific IsWellKnownSid and CheckTokenMembership checks examine the running token rather
than confirming the directory owner. This bypasses safe.directory-style protection for repositories owned
and configured by a limited user, allowing repository configuration or hooks to execute commands with the
administrator's privileges when an affected operation is performed. Exploitation requires Windows, an
elevated administrator, a program that relies on gix-sec trust results, and interaction with a repository
controlled by another user. An unelevated UAC process is not affected, and cloning is not affected because
repository configuration and hooks are not copied. This issue is fixed in version 0.13.3. (CVE-2025-24890)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
