SCA: security update for simple-git (GHSA-hffm-xvc3-vprc)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441265

Description

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

 - Versions of the package simple-git before 3.36.0 are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to an
 incomplete fix for [CVE-2022-25912](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-SIMPLEGIT-3112221) that blocks
 the -c option but not the equivalent --config form. If untrusted input can reach the options argument
 passed to simple-git, an attacker may still achieve remote code execution by enabling
 protocol.ext.allow=always and using an ext:: clone source. (CVE-2026-6951)

Solution

Update the simple-git library and its related packages to version 3.36.0 or later.
