{"id":"GHSA-w672-239g-c3gr","summary":"Duplicate Advisory: GitPython: Arbitrary file read via --pathspec-from-file in IndexFile.remove() and Head.checkout()","details":"## Duplicate Advisory\n\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-hh9p-6wh2-4mfc. This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n## Original Description\nGitPython versions before 3.1.58 fail to validate options passed to git rm and git checkout commands in IndexFile.remove() and Head.checkout(). Attackers can supply --pathspec-from-file and --pathspec-file-nul parameters to read arbitrary files accessible to the process, with full file contents returned in GitCommandError.stderr.","modified":"2026-09-08T21:00:05.780733773Z","published":"2026-08-19T15:32:33Z","withdrawn":"2026-09-08T20:53:37Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed_at":"2026-09-08T20:53:37Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-08-19T14:17:47Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-73"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/security/advisories/GHSA-hh9p-6wh2-4mfc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-76217"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/gitpython-before-arbitrary-file-read-via-pathspec-from-file"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"gitpython","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/gitpython"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"3.1.57"}]}],"versions":["0.1.7","0.2.0-beta1","0.3.0-beta1","0.3.0-beta2","0.3.1-beta2","0.3.2","0.3.2.1","0.3.2.RC1","0.3.3","0.3.4","0.3.5","0.3.6","0.3.7","1.0.0","1.0.1","1.0.2","2.0.0","2.0.1","2.0.2","2.0.3","2.0.4","2.0.5","2.0.6","2.0.7","2.0.8","2.0.9","2.0.9.dev0","2.0.9.dev1","2.1.0","2.1.1","2.1.10","2.1.11","2.1.12","2.1.13","2.1.14","2.1.15","2.1.2","2.1.3","2.1.4","2.1.5","2.1.6","2.1.7","2.1.8","2.1.9","3.0.0","3.0.1","3.0.2","3.0.3","3.0.4","3.0.5","3.0.6","3.0.7","3.0.8","3.0.9","3.1.0","3.1.1","3.1.10","3.1.11","3.1.12","3.1.13","3.1.14","3.1.15","3.1.16","3.1.17","3.1.18","3.1.19","3.1.2","3.1.20","3.1.22","3.1.23","3.1.24","3.1.25","3.1.26","3.1.27","3.1.28","3.1.29","3.1.3","3.1.30","3.1.31","3.1.32","3.1.33","3.1.34","3.1.35","3.1.36","3.1.37","3.1.38","3.1.4","3.1.40","3.1.41","3.1.42","3.1.43","3.1.44","3.1.45","3.1.46","3.1.47","3.1.48","3.1.49","3.1.5","3.1.50","3.1.51","3.1.52","3.1.53","3.1.54","3.1.55","3.1.56","3.1.57","3.1.6","3.1.7","3.1.8","3.1.9"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/08/GHSA-w672-239g-c3gr/GHSA-w672-239g-c3gr.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
