SCA: security update for simple-git (GHSA-x6jw-m9v5-85vh)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472949

Description

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

 - simple-git, an interface for running git commands in any node.js application, enables applications to
 execute Git operations from JavaScript. From 3.15.0 until 4.0.1, the default blockUnsafeOperationsPlugin
 does not classify trailer.<token>.cmd as unsafe configuration. An application that passes attacker-
 controlled values through SimpleGitOptions.config or inline -c arguments can therefore allow Git to invoke
 an attacker-selected shell command when git interpret-trailers processes the configured trailer. The
 command executes with the operating-system identity and permissions of the Node.js process. This issue is
 fixed in 4.0.1. (CVE-2026-102828)

Solution

Update the simple-git library and its related packages to version 4.0.1 or later.
