There are hundreds of files on your system that if you could write to them would cause a RCE. For example, `AUTOEXEC.BAT`. While the intermediate step (how do you go from writing a filename without an ^M to writing to an arbitrary file on the target OS?) is also somewhat surprising (and maybe points at some potential deeper fixes within git or potential TOCTOU bugs?), ultimately it's the exact same as several other vulnerabilities in this class from the same author (see the 2024 case-sensitivity bug they linked), so I forgive them for glossing over it.
