Apologies for the radio silence recently. Had some terrible family news over Christmas and New Year. 

Anyway, the following have been published regarding Git and rated has Critical:

The last CVE is still to be patched and affects Git for Windows. As a workaround, do not use the GUI from clone a repository, especially from untrusted sources.

Therefore, malicious repositories can ship with an aspell.exe in their top-level directory which is executed by Git GUI without giving the user a chance to inspect it first, i.e. running untrusted code.
