SCA: security update for mcp-server-git (GHSA-9xwc-hfwc-8w59)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436458

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, the git_diff and git_checkout functions passed user-
 controlled arguments directly to git CLI commands without sanitization. Flag-like values (e.g.,
 `--output=/path/to/file` for `git_diff`) would be interpreted as command-line options rather than git
 refs, enabling arbitrary file overwrites. The fix adds validation that rejects arguments starting with -
 and verifies the argument resolves to a valid git ref via rev_parse before execution. Users are advised to
 update to 2025.12.17 resolve this issue when it is released. (CVE-2025-68144)
