SCA: security update for github.com/go-git/go-git/v5, github.com/go-git/go-git/v6 (GHSA-crhj-59gh-8x96)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442158

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 5.19.1 and 6.0.0-alpha.4,
 a path validation issue in go-git could allow crafted repository data to affect files outside the intended
 checkout target, including the repository's .git directory. These validations were introduced in upstream
 Git years ago, so the vulnerability arose from go-git drifting from those checks. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 5.19.1 and 6.0.0-alpha.4. (CVE-2026-45571)

Solution

Update the github.com/go-git/go-git/v5 library and its related packages to version 5.19.1 or later.
