Summary

GitPython before 3.2.0 passes URLs from Git.ls_remote on without the check_unsafe_protocols validation, which is an improper validation flaw (CWE-1287). Remote attackers can supply ext:: remote-helper URLs to run commands when git permits the ext transport.

Description from the CNA

GitPython before 3.2.0 contains a remote code execution vulnerability that allows attackers to run commands because Git.ls_remote forwards URLs without check_unsafe_protocols validation. Attackers can supply ext:: remote-helper URLs to execute commands when git permits the ext transport, while merge_base and IndexFile.move also accept unguarded option injection.

Remediation

Upgrade GitPython to 3.2.0, which fixes the flaw. Red Hat fixes it in Red Hat Satellite 6.16 for RHEL 8 and RHEL 9 (RHSA-2026:95655), Satellite 6.17 for RHEL 9 (RHSA-2026:95656), Satellite 6.18 and Satellite 6.18 for RHEL 9 (RHSA-2026:95657), Satellite 6.19 and Satellite 6.19 for RHEL 9 (RHSA-2026:92861), and Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.4 (RHSA-2026:92510). Red Hat lists Exploit Intelligence, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) 3, and Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) as affected without a fix, and Red Hat has no plan available for them.
