CVE-2025-4949

MEDIUM 6.8EPSS 0.84%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.84%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In Eclipse JGit versions 7.2.0.202503040940-r and older, the ManifestParser class used by the repo command and the AmazonS3 class used to implement the experimental amazons3 git transport protocol allowing to store git pack files in an Amazon S3 bucket, are vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks when parsing XML files. This vulnerability can lead to information disclosure, denial of service, and other security issues.
