SCA: security update for github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/v3 (GHSA-q6r2-x2cc-vrp7)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417937

Description

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

 - Git LFS is a Git extension for versioning large files. When Git LFS requests credentials from Git for a
 remote host, it passes portions of the host's URL to the `git-credential(1)` command without checking for
 embedded line-ending control characters, and then sends any credentials it receives back from the Git
 credential helper to the remote host. By inserting URL-encoded control characters such as line feed (LF)
 or carriage return (CR) characters into the URL, an attacker may be able to retrieve a user's Git
 credentials. This problem exists in all previous versions and is patched in v3.6.1. All users should
 upgrade to v3.6.1. There are no workarounds known at this time. (CVE-2024-53263)
