go-git's improper parsing of specially crafted objects may lead to inconsistent interpretation compared to upstream Git

go-git may parse malformed Git objects in a way that differs from upstream Git. When commit or tag objects contain ambiguous or malformed headers, go-git’s decoded representation may expose values differently from how Git itself would interpret or reject the same object. Additionally, go-git’s commit signing and verification logic operates over commit data reconstructed from go-git’s parsed representation rather than the original raw object bytes. As a result, go-git may …

go-git: Credential leak via cross-host redirect in smart HTTP transport

go-git may leak HTTP authentication credentials when following redirects during smart-HTTP clone and fetch operations. If a remote repository responds to the initial /info/refs request with a redirect to a different host, go-git updates the session endpoint to the redirected location and reuses the original authentication for subsequent requests. This can result in the credentials (e.g. Authorization headers) being sent to an unintended host. An attacker controlling or influencing the …
