  - In Eclipse JGit versions 7.2.0.202503040940-r and older, the ManifestParser class used by the repo command
    and the AmazonS3 class used to implement the experimental amazons3 git transport protocol allowing to
    store git pack files in an Amazon S3 bucket, are vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks when
    parsing XML files. This vulnerability can lead to information disclosure, denial of service, and other
    security issues. (CVE-2025-4949)
