When Git asks the helper to erase a stored credential whose password was supplied by the caller, the helper copies the candidate's password into a freshly allocated buffer for comparison. That copy overruns the allocation by one WCHAR of NUL, which on uninstrumented Windows manifests as process termination with status 0xC0000374. Because the helper can die before reaching CredDeleteW(), `git credential reject` masks the failure and the rejected credential remains stored. CredentialBlobSize is documented as a byte count, so for an N-WCHAR blob it equals N * sizeof(WCHAR). The pre-fix code allocated that many bytes and asked wcsncpy_s to copy N wide characters, but wcsncpy_s always appends a terminating NUL WCHAR, writing one WCHAR past the allocation. The destination-capacity argument was also passed in bytes rather than in WCHAR elements as the API requires, so the safe-CRT runtime never rejected the copy. See GHSA-rxqw-wxqg-g7hw.
