It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-815 advisory.

    Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that     provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When Git asks for credentials via a     terminal prompt (i.e. without using any credential helper), it prints out the host name for which the user     is expected to provide a username and/or a password. At this stage, any URL-encoded parts have been     decoded already, and are printed verbatim. This allows attackers to craft URLs that contain ANSI escape     sequences that the terminal interpret to confuse users e.g. into providing passwords for trusted Git     hosting sites when in fact they are then sent to untrusted sites that are under the attacker's control.
    This issue has been patch via commits `7725b81` and `c903985` which are included in release versions     v2.48.1, v2.47.1, v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4. Users are advised to     upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive clones.
    (CVE-2024-50349)

    Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that     provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git defines a line-based protocol that     is used to exchange information between Git and Git credential helpers. Some ecosystems (most notably,     .NET and node.js) interpret single Carriage Return characters as newlines, which renders the protections     against CVE-2020-5260 incomplete for credential helpers that treat Carriage Returns in this way. This     issue has been addressed in commit `b01b9b8` which is included in release versions v2.48.1, v2.47.1,     v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4.

According to the versions of the git packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    Git is a source code management tool. When cloning from a server (or fetching, or pushing), informational     or error messages are transported from the remote Git process to the client via the so-called 'sideband     channel'. These messages will be prefixed with 'remote:' and printed directly to the standard error     output. Typically, this standard error output is connected to a terminal that understands ANSI escape     sequences, which Git did not protect against. Most modern terminals support control sequences that can be     used by a malicious actor to hide and misrepresent information, or to mislead the user into executing     untrusted scripts. As requested on the git-security mailing list, the patches are under discussion on the     public mailing list. Users are advised to update as soon as possible. Users unable to upgrade should avoid     recursive clones unless they are from trusted sources.(CVE-2024-52005)
