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.","published":"2026-08-25T02:16:52.173","modified":"2026-08-25T02:16:52.173","cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/security/advisories/GHSA-8mcc-hrx5-hvxc"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/gitpython-before-path-traversal-via-separate-git-dir"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-25T02:16:52.173"}}
