CVE-2026-78677
CVE-2026-78677 · GitPython before 3.1.59 Path Traversal via separate-git-dir
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
GitPython before 3.1.59 omits --separate-git-dir from unsafe_git_clone_options, allowing attackers to create arbitrary git directories outside the intended clone destination. Attackers can pass a separate_git_dir parameter to Repo.clone_from() or Repo.clone() to redirect repository metadata to an attacker-controlled filesystem path, enabling arbitrary directory creation and potential hook execution.
