critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419146

Description

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

 - go-git is a highly extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. An argument injection
 vulnerability was discovered in go-git versions prior to v5.13. Successful exploitation of this
 vulnerability could allow an attacker to set arbitrary values to git-upload-pack flags. This only happens
 when the file transport protocol is being used, as that is the only protocol that shells out to git
 binaries. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.13.0. (CVE-2025-21613)
