GitPython: Unguarded git option forwarding in Repo.init enables arbitrary command execution via --template clone hooks

SummaryRepo.init forwards kwargs verbatim to git init with no unsafe-option guard and no allowunsafeoptions parameter. git init --template= copies /hooks/ into the new repo's .git/hooks, so an attacker-controlled template kwarg plants a hook that executes on the next git operation → arbitrary cod...

GitPython: TagReference.create positional reference bypasses kwargs-only --file guard, enabling arbitrary file read (incomplete fix of 3af0c251)

Summary TagReference.create forwards a caller-influenced positional reference value into git tag without it ever being inspected by the unsafe-option guard, allowing an arbitrary file read the file's contents are returned in-band as the annotated tag message. This is an incomplete-fix bypass of...

GitPython: clone_from()/clone() omit --separate-git-dir from unsafe_git_clone_options, enabling arbitrary git-directory creation outside the destination

CWE: CWE-73 External Control of File Name or Path / CWE-22 Path Traversal, in the "escapes intended base directory" sense - Affected component: git/repo/base.py, Repo.unsafegitcloneoptions class attribute, lines 153-165 and Repo.clone lines 1477-1520, reached via the public Repo.clonefrom line...

MGASA-2026-0372 Updated python-gitpython packages fix security vulnerabilities

CVE-2023-40267 GitPython before 3.1.32 does not block insecure non-multi options in clone and clonefrom. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2022-24439. CVE-2023-41040 In order to resolve some git references, GitPython reads files from the .git directory, in some places t...

sshconfig-lint v0.5.0

sshconfig-lint One engine for every place your SSH config changes. sshconfig-lint finds semantic mistakes in OpenSSH client configs: duplicate hosts, broken identity paths, unsafe options, weak algorithms, wildcard ordering, and tangled Include chains. Use the same rule codes locally, in Git hook...

CVE-2026-76218

GitPython before 3.1.58 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in Repo.init that forwards unsafe git options without validation. Attackers can supply a template parameter pointing to a directory with malicious git hooks that execute arbitrary code when git operations are performed on the...

The vulnerability of the `check_unsafe_options` mechanism in the Python library for interacting with Git repositories, GitPython, allows a malicious actor to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability of the checkunsafeoptions mechanism in the Python library for interacting with Git repositories, GitPython, is related to the failure to take measures to neutralize special elements. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a malicious actor to rewrite any files in the system remote...

PYSEC-2026-3953

GitPython versions before 3.1.54 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the checkunsafeoptions guard that can be bypassed by smuggling git options inside single-character kwarg values. Attackers can supply crafted option dictionaries to clonefrom, fetch, pull, push, lsremote, itercommit...

CVE-2026-73620 GitPython before 3.1.57 Arbitrary File Overwrite and Read

GitPython before 3.1.57 fails to guard git option forwarding in IndexFile.checkout and TagReference.create, allowing attackers to pass unsafe options via kwargs. Attackers can use --prefix to overwrite arbitrary files with repository content or -F to read arbitrary files returned in-band...

CVE-2026-73619 GitPython before 3.1.57 Arbitrary File Read via Repo.archive()

GitPython before 3.1.57 contains an incomplete denylist in the unsafegitarchiveoptions guard that omits --add-file and --add-virtual-file options. Attackers can supply these options to Repo.archive to read arbitrary files from the filesystem and include them in the returned archive...

GitPython: Unsafe git option guard bypass via split_single_char_options=False short-option token smuggling enables command execution

Summary The checkunsafeoptions guard can be bypassed on every guarded method clone/clonefrom, fetch/pull/push, lsremote, itercommits, blame, archive by combining a single-character kwarg with splitsinglecharoptions=False. The guard's candidate list omits the smuggled option, but transformkwarg...

Arbitrary Argument Injection

Overview GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Argument Injection via the checkunsafeoptions process. An attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands by supplying specially crafted keyword arguments that...
