Versions of gitoxide from 0.25.4 are vulnerable to an HTTP credential leak, where authentication tokens may be exposed to attacker-controlled servers due to improper validation of URLs during redirects. This flaw enables attackers to exploit cross-domain redirects or downgrade HTTPS connections to HTTP, potentially compromising sensitive credentials. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize remediation to protect against unauthorized access and credential theft.

Original NVD Description

gitoxide versions from 0.25.4 contain an HTTP credential leak vulnerability in the curl-based transport backend where credentials are sent to attacker-controlled servers after HTTP redirects. The vulnerability occurs because credential validation checks the original URL instead of the effective URL after redirect, allowing attackers to steal authentication tokens through cross-domain redirects or HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades.
