Description

A flaw was found in Git. Git defines a line-based protocol that is used to exchange information between Git and Git credential helpers. Some ecosystems, most notably .NET and node.js, interpret single Carriage Return characters as newlines, which render the protections against CVE-2020-5260 incomplete for credential helpers, which has the potential to expose stored credentials to malicious URLs.
