Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Git Credential Manager (GCM) versions prior to 2.5.0

Description The issue arises from the Debian package of Git Credential Manager (GCM) not setting root ownership on installed files prior to version 2.5.0. This allows a user on a multi-user system to replace the binary and gain privileges of other users.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.5.0, update to version 2.5.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider setting root ownership on installed files manually until the update can be applied.
