Remote Code Execution (RCE)

Published Dec 12, 2022 · Updated Nov 3, 2025 · Assigned by snyk

Package: gitpython Package: python-git Package: python-git Ecosystem: Debian Ecosystem: PyPI Ecosystem: Ubuntu

Description

All versions of package gitpython are vulnerable to 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.
