CVE-2025-22620: gix-worktree-state nonexclusive checkout sets executable files world-writable

January 21, 2025

gix-worktree-state specifies 0777 permissions when checking out executable files, intending that the umask will restrict them appropriately. But one of the strategies it uses to set permissions is not subject to the umask. This causes files in a repository to be world-writable in some situations.
