Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

gix-worktree-state versions before 0.17.0 apply mode 0777 to executable files in checkouts that do not treat the destination as empty (the default), bypassing the umask, so those files become world-writable. Local users who can reach the checkout directory can modify them, which matters on multi-user systems. Upgrade to gix-worktree-state 0.17.0 or later.
