SCA: security update for simple-git (GHSA-858h-whjf-mvg5)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472980

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. Prior to 4.0.0, the default blockUnsafeOperationsPlugin compares
 parsed option names with literal dangerous option spellings while Git accepts unambiguous long-option
 abbreviations. Attacker-influenced push arguments such as abbreviated --receive-pack or --exec forms can
 therefore bypass detectVulnerableFlags, reach git push against a local or file remote or an attacker-
 influenced receive-pack target, and cause Git to invoke an attacker-selected command in consumers that
 expose those arguments. The clone-side abbreviation handling does not protect the push path. This issue is
 fixed in 4.0.0. (CVE-2026-102827)

Solution

Update the simple-git library and its related packages to version 4.0.0 or later.
