GitPython versions prior to 3.1.57 have an incomplete denylist in the unsafe_git_archive_options guard, allowing attackers to exploit the --add-file and --add-virtual-file options in Repo.archive(). This vulnerability enables unauthorized access to arbitrary files on the filesystem, posing a risk of data exposure. Developers and organizations using GitPython should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

GitPython before 3.1.57 contains an incomplete denylist in the unsafe_git_archive_options guard that omits --add-file and --add-virtual-file options. Attackers can supply these options to Repo.archive() to read arbitrary files from the filesystem and include them in the returned archive.
