Machine-written summary

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

GHSA-v26r-4c9c-h3j6: gix-path versions before 0.10.10 treat a local repository's git configuration as system-wide when no higher-scope configuration is present. An attacker who can get a user to run gix from inside one repository while operating on another, or who arranges for higher-scope configuration to be absent, could cause that repository's settings, including credentials, to be applied to a different repository's remote. Upgrade gix-path to 0.10.10 or later.
