AI-Generated

GitPython versions prior to 3.1.58 are susceptible to a remote code execution vulnerability due to improper validation of git options in the Repo.init function. This flaw allows attackers to exploit the template parameter to direct malicious git hooks, potentially executing arbitrary code during git operations on the affected repository. Organizations using GitPython should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description

GitPython before 3.1.58 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in Repo.init that forwards unsafe git options without validation. Attackers can supply a template parameter pointing to a directory with malicious git hooks that execute arbitrary code when git operations are performed on the initialized repository.
