CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

GitPython versions prior to 3.1.58 are vulnerable due to inadequate validation of options in the git rm and git checkout commands, allowing attackers to exploit the --pathspec-from-file and --pathspec-file-nul parameters. This could lead to unauthorized access to arbitrary files, exposing their contents through error messages. Organizations using affected versions of GitPython should prioritize updating to mitigate the risk of data exposure.

Original NVD Description

GitPython versions before 3.1.58 fail to validate options passed to git rm and git checkout commands in IndexFile.remove() and Head.checkout(). Attackers can supply --pathspec-from-file and --pathspec-file-nul parameters to read arbitrary files accessible to the process, with full file contents returned in GitCommandError.stderr.
