SCA: security update for github.com/go-git/go-git/v5 (GHSA-37cx-329c-33x3)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437654

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. Prior to 5.16.5, a
vulnerability was discovered in go-git whereby data integrity values for .pack and .idx files were not
properly verified. This resulted in go-git potentially consuming corrupted files, which would likely
result in unexpected errors such as object not found. For context, clients fetch packfiles from upstream
Git servers. Those files contain a checksum of their contents, so that clients can perform integrity
checks before consuming it. The pack indexes (.idx) are generated locally by go-git, or the git cli, when
new .pack files are received and processed. The integrity checks for both files were not being verified
correctly. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.16.5. (CVE-2026-25934)
