v3.6.1

This release introduces a security fix for all platforms, which has been assigned CVE-2024-53263.

When requesting credentials from Git for a remote host, prior versions of Git LFS passed portions of the host's URL to the git-credential(1) command without checking for embedded line-ending control characters, and then sent any credentials received back from the Git credential helper to the remote host. By inserting URL-encoded control characters such as line feed (LF) or carriage return (CR) characters into the URL, an attacker might have been able to retrieve a user's Git credentials.

Git LFS now prevents bare line feed (LF) characters from being included in the values sent to the git-credential(1) command, and also prevents bare carriage return (CR) characters from being included unless the credential.protectProtocol configuration option is set to a value equivalent to false.

We would like to extend a special thanks to the following open-source contributors:

• @Ry0taK for reporting this to us responsibly

Bugs

• Reject bare line-ending control characters in Git credential requests (@chrisd8088)
