"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - All versions of package gitpython are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper user input
    validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command.
    Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to git without
    sufficient sanitization of input arguments. (CVE-2022-24439)
