Git for Windows is the Windows port of Git. Prior to 2.55.0.windows.4, a malicious remote Git server can advertise a bundle URI that reaches transportgetremotebundleuri(), fetchbundleuriinternal(), and copyuritofile() in bundle-uri.c during clone or fetch when transfer.bundleuri=true. Non-HTTP(S) values are treated as local filesystem paths, and file URI prefixes are removed, so a bare UNC path or file URI targeting an attacker-controlled share causes Windows to initiate an outbound SMB connection. This can expose NTLM authentication material to the attacker-selected host. This issue is fixed in version 2.55.0.windows.4.
