What is CVE-2024-52006?

A vulnerability has been identified in Git affecting its credential helpers, particularly in ecosystems like .NET and node.js. This issue arises due to the misinterpretation of single Carriage Return characters as newlines, which compromises the safeguards against previous vulnerabilities. The problem has been rectified in recent versions of Git. Users are strongly advised to update their installations to mitigate risks, and those unable to upgrade should exercise caution when cloning from untrusted URLs, especially when using recursive clones.
