CVE-2026-71557 go-git: Malicious reference names may modify files outside the reference storage

go-git is an extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. Prior to 5.19.2 and 6.0.0-alpha.5, reference names are not sanitized before being used to construct on-disk paths under the reference storage directory, so a maliciously crafted reference name for example containing...

go-git: Worktree operations may follow symlinks

Impact A symlink traversal issue in go-git could allow worktree operations to modify files outside the intended worktree path. The worktreeFilesystem wrapper rejected dangerous path strings, including paths containing .git, parent-directory components, or control characters. However, it did not...

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 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...
