Description:

Updating repos to borg 1.25 requires some manual work. I guess this should be mention as a post_upgrade message. This is important because borg check will fail if upgrade is not done correctly.

In addition, those required manual steps will fail if borg rename or borg recreate were used in the past.

Instruction to upgrade repo: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/blob/1.2.5/docs/changes.rst#important-notes
Issue: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/7791

I suggest keeping borg 1.24 until borg 1.26 is released. CVE is not critical, if an attacker has writing permissions to your backup repo, you have bigger problems.
This task depends upon

Downgrading to 1.24 is the recommended approach by the borg developer as well:
