GHSA-WVPP-8HX9-P66J 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...

GHSA-JM78-9FVV-MHGR GitPython: git-config OPTION-name injection via =/#/whitespace bypasses name validator, enabling forged core.sshCommand/hooksPath (RCE)

Summary GitPython's config-name validator only neutralizes CR/LF/NUL for the "option" label; it does not reject =, , ;, , , or whitespace in an option name. writesection writes the option name verbatim into the config file, so an option name such as sshCommand = touch is written as \tsshCommand =...

GHSA-HMQ2-W58F-27JC GitPython: Arbitrary Git Repository Creation Outside the Working Tree via Unvalidated .gitmodules Submodule Name in GitPython

Summary GitPython computes the on-disk location of a submodule's separate Git directory .git/modules/ from the submodule's .gitmodules section name with no validation. Because that name is fully attacker-controlled content of a cloned repository, a malicious repository can set a submodule name to...

GHSA-HH9P-6WH2-4MFC GitPython: Arbitrary file read via --pathspec-from-file in IndexFile.remove() and Head.checkout()

Summary IndexFile.remove and Head.checkout forward kwargs into git rm and git checkout with no guard. Passing --pathspec-from-file= together with --pathspec-file-nul makes Git treat the whole file as a single NUL-delimited pathspec, and the unmatched-pathspec error quotes it verbatim. GitPython...

GHSA-9RJ7-RF2P-W77R GitPython: Unguarded git option forwarding in Repo.init enables arbitrary command execution via --template clone hooks

Summary Repo.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 co...

GHSA-4GMW-GG2M-W46P GitPython: Unguarded git read-tree option forwarding in IndexFile.from_tree/reset/merge_tree enables arbitrary file overwrite

Summary IndexFile.fromtree, IndexFile.reset → fromtree and IndexFile.mergetree append caller-influenced treeish strings positionally to git read-tree with no unsafe-option guard, no allowunsafeoptions parameter, and no -- separator. git read-tree --index-output= writes the resulting index to an...

Out-of-bounds read in FFmpeg 8.0 and 8.0.1 RV60 video decoder libavcodec/rv60dec.c. The quantization parameter qp validation at line 2267 only checks the lower bound qp 0 but is missing upper bound validation. The qp value can reach 65 base value 63 from 6-bit frame header + offset +2 from...

Claude Code and Gemini CLI Flaws Let a GitHub Issue Reach CI Workflow Secrets

A GitHub issue opened by an account with no repository privileges was enough to execute code on the CI runners behind Anthropic's and Google's own coding-agent repositories. On OpenAI's, it was enough to hijack the next agent run. Novee Security ran the attack against each vendor's agent in the...
