SCA: security update for mcp-server-git (GHSA-5cgr-j3jf-jw3v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436428

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Model Context Protocol Servers is a collection of reference implementations for the model context protocol
 (MCP). In mcp-server-git versions prior to 2025.9.25, the git_init tool accepted arbitrary filesystem
 paths and created Git repositories without validating the target location. Unlike other tools which
 required an existing repository, git_init could operate on any directory accessible to the server process,
 making those directories eligible for subsequent git operations. The tool was removed entirely, as the
 server is intended to operate on existing repositories only. Users are advised to upgrade to 2025.9.25 or
 newer to remediate this issue. (CVE-2025-68143)
