Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions gitoxide versions prior to 0.52.1

Description The software follows symlinks when reading the worktree .gitmodules file, which allows the injection of out-of-repository bytes into submodule metadata. An attacker can create a malicious repository containing a symlinked .gitmodules file that points outside the repository tree. This causes the system to parse arbitrary external files as submodule configuration, exposing attacker-controlled name, path, and url values.

Recommendations Update gitoxide to version 0.52.1 or later.
