OESA-2026-3439 (CVE-2026-69097)

Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2026-08-20 09:58 – Updated: 2026-08-20 09:58 – Source website

Summary

python-GitPython security update

Details

GitPython is a python library used to interact with git repositories, high-level like git-porcelain, or low-level like git-plumbing.

Security Fix(es):

GitPython before 3.1.53 fails to properly escape section names in git config files, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary configuration directives through malicious submodule names. Attackers can inject core.sshCommand or other dangerous config keys into the victim's .git/config via create_submodule or clone_from operations, achieving remote code execution when git performs ssh operations.(CVE-2026-69097)

Severity

7.3 (High)
