CVE-2023-49568: Go-Git Project Go-Git

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability was discovered in go-git versions prior to v5.11. This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform denial of service attacks by providing specially crafted responses from a Git server which triggers resource exhaustion in go-git clients. Applications using only the in-memory filesystem supported by go-git are not affected by this vulnerability. This is a go-git implementation issue and does not affect the upstream git cli.

Affected products

• Go-Git Project Go-Git: from 4.0.0, before 5.11.0 (fixed in 5.11.0)
