go-git is an extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. Prior to versions 5.18.0 and 6.0.0-alpha.2, go-git may leak HTTP authentication credentials when following redirects during smart-HTTP clone and fetch operations. This issue has been patched in versions 5.18.0 and 6.0.0-alpha.2.

Weakness

The product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval.
