SCA: security update for github.com/go-git/go-git/v5 (GHSA-gm2x-2g9h-ccm8)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439475

Description

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

 - go-git is an extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. Prior to version 5.17.1, go-git’s
 index decoder for format version 4 fails to validate the path name prefix length before applying it to the
 previously decoded path name. A maliciously crafted index file can trigger an out-of-bounds slice
 operation, resulting in a runtime panic during normal index parsing. This issue only affects Git index
 format version 4. Earlier formats (go-git supports only v2 and v3) are not vulnerable to this issue. This
 issue has been patched in version 5.17.1. (CVE-2026-33762)

Solution

Update the github.com/go-git/go-git/v5 library and its related packages to version 5.17.1 or later.
