SCA: security update for github.com/go-git/go-git/v5, github.com/go-git/go-git/v6 (GHSA-m7cr-m3pv-hgrp)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442170

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 5.19.1 and 6.0.0-alpha.4,
 go-git's SSH transport constructs the remote exec command by wrapping the repository path in single quotes
 without escaping single quotes embedded inside the path. A repository path containing a single quote can
 therefore break out of the quoted region in the exec command and be appended as additional shell tokens.
 This vulnerability is fixed in 5.19.1 and 6.0.0-alpha.4. (CVE-2026-45570)

Solution

Update the github.com/go-git/go-git/v5 library and its related packages to version 5.19.1 or later.
