Severity: High
Title: GitPython: Code Execution via Crafted Input
Date: November 01, 2023
Bugs: #884623
ID: 202311-01
Synopsis
A vulnerability has been discovered in GitPython where crafted input to
Repo.clone_from can lead to code execution
Background
GitPython is a Python library used to interact with Git repositories.
Affected packages
Package Vulnerable Unaffected
dev-python/GitPython < 3.1.30 >= 3.1.30
Description
Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details.
Impact
An attacker may be able to trigger Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to
improper user input validation, which makes it possible to inject a
maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command. Exploiting this
vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to
git without sufficient sanitization of input arguments.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All GitPython users should upgrade to the latest version:
emerge --sync
emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose “>=dev-python/GitPython-3.1.30”
