CVE-2024-50338: Git Credential Manager carriage-return character in remote URL allows malicious repository to leak credentials
The Git credential protocol is text-based over standard input/output, and consists of a series of lines of key-value pairs in the format key=value. Git’s documentation restricts the use of the NUL (\0) character and newlines to form part of the keys[^1] or values.
