Description
CVE-2025-48386 is a classic buffer overflow vulnerability in Git's wincred credential helper. The issue arises because the helper uses a static buffer without properly checking bounds before appending data, leading to potential overflow.

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.3, indicating medium severity, and impacts confidentiality but not integrity or availability.
