libgit2 is a portable C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a linkable library with a solid API, allowing to build Git functionality into your application. Prior to 1.8.6 and 1.9.5, the built-in HTTP transport in src/libgit2/transports/http.c follows an offsite initial redirect, and handle_remote_auth and handle_auth pass transport->owner->url instead of transport->server.url to the credential callback when the redirected host returns 401 Unauthorized. A callback that scopes credentials to the original trusted URL can therefore return GIT_CREDENTIAL_USERPASS_PLAINTEXT credentials that libgit2 stores in transport->server.cred and sends as an Authorization header to the redirected host. An attacker who controls a trusted Git host or an open redirect on that host can disclose HTTP Basic credentials, personal access tokens, or equivalent credentials. This issue is fixed in versions 1.8.6 and 1.9.5.
