Echo: github.com/go-git/go-git/v5: security update to 5.19.2

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 472800

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 5.19.2 and 6.0.0-alpha.5,
 reference names are not sanitized before being used to construct on-disk paths under the reference storage
 directory, so a maliciously crafted reference name (for example containing directory-traversal sequences)
 can cause go-git to write files outside the intended reference storage directory. Versions 5.19.2 and
 6.0.0-alpha.5 fix the issue. (CVE-2026-71557)

Solution

Update the github.com/go-git/go-git/v5 library and its related packages to version 5.19.2 or later.
