SCA: security update for mcp-server-git (GHSA-j22h-9j4x-23w5)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436457

Description

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

 - In mcp-server-git versions prior to 2025.12.17, when the server is started with the --repository flag to
 restrict operations to a specific repository path, it did not validate that repo_path arguments in
 subsequent tool calls were actually within that configured path. This could allow tool calls to operate on
 other repositories accessible to the server process. The fix adds path validation that resolves both the
 configured repository and the requested path (following symlinks) and verifies the requested path is
 within the allowed repository before executing any git operations. Users are advised to upgrade to
 2025.12.17 upon release to remediate this issue. (CVE-2025-68145)
