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...

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...

An attacker can execute arbitrary commands by injecting specially crafted option names that are written verbatim...

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 =...

External Control of File Name or Path

Overview GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to External Control of File Name or Path via the handling of submodule names in the .gitmodules configuration. An attacker can cause arbitrary directories and Git...

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...

Arbitrary Code Injection

Overview GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via the Repo.init process. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by supplying a malicious template parameter that points to a directory...

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...
