Summary

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-239g-whfq-7xj9. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description GitPython before 3.1.60 fails to properly validate the git directory location, allowing attackers to impersonate the git directory using tracked files like gitdir, commondir, and HEAD. Attackers can execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious pre-commit hook in the tracked hooks directory that executes when a victim calls index.commit() on a cloned or opened repository.

Affected packages

Remediation: No patched version is listed by GitHub.
