CVE-2023-41040

A path traversal vulnerability was found in GitPython due to an input validation error when reading from the “.git” directory. This issue may allow a remote attacker to prepare a specially crafted “.git” file with directory traversal characters in file names and force the application to read these files from the local system, which can result in checking for the existence of a specific file on the system or allow a denial of service (DoS) attack.
