gitpython: GitPython: Remote Code Execution via kwarg value smuggling

A flaw was found in GitPython. Attackers can bypass the checkunsafeoptions guard by smuggling git options within single-character keyword argument kwarg values. This allows them to supply specially crafted option dictionaries to various GitPython methods, such as clonefrom or fetch, leading to...

GitPython: Environment-variable exfiltration via os.path.expandvars() on Repo.clone_from() URL

SummaryRepo.clonefrom passes the caller-supplied remote URL through Git.polishurl, which on every non-Cygwin platform calls os.path.expandvars on the URL before handing it to git clone. An attacker who controls the URL argument — the documented use case for clonefrom in "import repository from UR...

ROS-20260904-73-0017

The vulnerability of the Repo.clonefrom function in the Python library for interacting with Git repositories in GitPython is related to the lack of measures taken to neutralize special elements. Exploiting this vulnerability may allow a malicious actor to execute arbitrary code remotely...

gitpython: GitPython: Arbitrary command execution via crafted kwargs

A flaw was found in GitPython. A remote attacker can bypass the checkunsafeoptions guard by combining a single-character keyword argument with splitsinglecharoptions=False. This allows the attacker to supply a crafted dictionary of keyword arguments to guarded methods, such as clonefrom, leading ...

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...

The vulnerability of the Repo.clone_from() and Repo.clone() functions in the git/repo/base.py module of the Python library for interacting with Git repositories in GitPython allows a malicious actor to write arbitrary files.

The vulnerability of the Repo.clonefrom and Repo.clone functions in the git/repo/base.py module of the GitPython library for interacting with Git repositories is related to an incorrect path name limitation when processing the --separate-git-dir parameter. Exploiting this vulnerability could allo...

gitpython: GitPython: Environment variable exfiltration via attacker-controlled clone URL

A flaw was found in GitPython. A remote attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the Repo.clonefrom method by providing a specially crafted Git repository URL. This URL can contain references to environment variables, which are then expanded and included in the URL. This allows the attacker to...
