SB2026041793 - Insufficiently protected credentials in go-git

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.

1) Insufficiently protected credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-41506)

CWE-ID: CWE-522 - Insufficiently Protected Credentials

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficiently protected credentials in smart HTTP transport when following a cross-host redirect during smart-HTTP clone and fetch operations. A remote attacker can cause the client to follow a redirect to a different host and capture reused HTTP authentication credentials to disclose sensitive information.

User interaction is required to initiate the clone or fetch operation, and the issue occurs when the initial /info/refs request is redirected to a different host.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
