Git GUI allows you to use the Git source control management tools via a GUI. A malicious repository can ship versions of sh.exe or typical textconv filter programs such as astextplain. Due to the unfortunate design of Tcl on Windows, the search path when looking for an executable always includes the current directory. The mentioned programs are invoked when the user selects Git Bash or Browse Files from the menu. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.43.7, 2.44.4, 2.45.4, 2.46.4, 2.47.3, 2.48.2, 2.49.1, and 2.50.1.

The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Vulnerability in Gitk where when a user clones an untrusted repository and runs Gitk without additional     command arguments, any writable file can be created and truncated. The option 'Support per-file encoding'     must have been enabled. (CVE-2025-27613)

  - Vulnerability in Gitk where a Git repository can be crafted in such a way that a user who has cloned the     repository can be tricked into running any script supplied by the attacker by invoking gitk filename,     where filename has a particular structure. (CVE-2025-27614)

  - Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Visual Studio allows an unauthorized     attacker to elevate privileges over a network. (CVE-2025-49739)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
