Echo: github.com/go-git/go-git/v5: security update to 5.19.2

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472767

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 5.19.2 and 6.0.0-alpha.5,
 worktree operations (including checkout, status, and add) resolve symbolic links inside the working tree
 without confining resolution to the worktree boundary, so a maliciously crafted repository containing a
 symlink can cause go-git to read from or write to files outside the intended working directory when the
 repository is cloned and its worktree operations are used. Versions 5.19.2 and 6.0.0-alpha.5.
 (CVE-2026-71556)

Solution

Update the github.com/go-git/go-git/v5 library and its related packages to version 5.19.2 or later.
