CVE-2024-45405: gix-path improperly resolves configuration path reported by Git
(updated )
gix-path runs git to find the path of a configuration file associated with the git installation, but improperly resolves paths containing unusual or non-ASCII characters, in rare cases enabling a local attacker to inject configuration leading to code execution.
