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 transport_get_remote_bundle_uri(), fetch_bundle_uri_internal(), and copy_uri_to_file() 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.
AnalysisAI
NTLM credential exposure in Git for Windows before 2.55.0.windows.4 allows a malicious remote Git server to capture Windows authentication material by advertising a crafted bundle URI during clone or fetch operations. When transfer.bundleuri is enabled, non-HTTP(S) URIs including bare UNC paths are treated as local filesystem paths, causing Windows to initiate an outbound SMB connection to an attacker-controlled host and expose NTLM hashes. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the victim has explicitly set transfer.bundleuri=true in their Git configuration-this setting is disabled by default and must be manually enabled by the user or an administrator. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N scores 7.4 High and accurately characterizes the threat: network-reachable, low attack complexity, no attacker privileges required, with a scope change because captured NTLM credentials can authenticate against Active Directory, file servers, and other Windows services far beyond the Git process itself. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Git for Windows version 2.55.0.windows.4 or later, available at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.55.0.windows.4. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running Git for Windows and communicate the credential exposure risk to development teams; within 7 days: deploy Git for Windows 2.55.0.windows.4 or later enterprise-wide and, as interim mitigation if patching cannot complete immediately, disable transfer.bundleuri via organizational Group Policy or configuration management; within 30 days: verify 100% patch compliance across all Git for Windows deployments, review authentication logs for anomalous SMB connection attempts, and implement network controls restricting outbound SMB from development systems.
