[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.53.0(2)

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.53.0(2) is available from:

https://gitforwindows.org/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.53.0 (February 2nd 2026):

This is a security fix release, addressing CVE-2025-66413.

* CVE-2025-66413, Git for Windows: When a user clones a repository
from an attacker-controlled server, Git may attempt NTLM
authentication and disclose the user's NTLMv2 hash to the remote
server. Since NTLM hashing is weak, the captured hash can
potentially be brute-forced to recover the user's credentials. This
is addressed by disabling NTLM authentication by default.
