CVE-2024-50349

A flaw was found in Git. This vulnerability occurs when Git requests credentials via a terminal prompt, for example, without the use of a credential helper. During this process, Git displays the host name for which the credentials are needed, but any URL-encoded parts are decoded and displayed directly. This can allow an attacker to manipulate URLs by including ANSI escape sequences, which can be interpreted by the terminal to mislead users by tricking them into entering passwords that are redirected to malicious attacker-controlled sites.
