{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69097","details":"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.","modified":"2026-09-18T12:30:12.186809591Z","published":"2026-08-03T14:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-69097"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-69097"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-69097"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/security/advisories/GHSA-3rp5-jjmw-4wv2"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/gitpython-before-config-injection-via-submodule-names"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python-git","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/python-git?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy%2Ftrusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.3.2~RC1-2","0.3.2~RC1-3","0.3.2~RC1-3ubuntu0.1~esm1","0.3.2~RC1-3ubuntu0.1~esm2","0.3.2~RC1-3ubuntu0.1~esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python-git","binary_version":"0.3.2~RC1-3ubuntu0.1~esm3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69097.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-git","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/python-git?arch=source&distro=esm-apps-legacy%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.0.1+git137-gc8b8379-1","1.0.1+git137-gc8b8379-2","1.0.1+git137-gc8b8379-2.1","1.0.1+git137-gc8b8379-2.1ubuntu0.1~esm1","1.0.1+git137-gc8b8379-2.1ubuntu0.1~esm2","1.0.1+git137-gc8b8379-2.1ubuntu0.1~esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python-git","binary_version":"1.0.1+git137-gc8b8379-2.1ubuntu0.1~esm4"},{"binary_name":"python3-git","binary_version":"1.0.1+git137-gc8b8379-2.1ubuntu0.1~esm4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69097.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-git","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/python-git?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.1.5-1","2.1.6-1","2.1.7-1","2.1.8-1","2.1.8-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","2.1.8-1ubuntu0.1~esm2","2.1.8-1ubuntu0.1~esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.1.8-1ubuntu0.1~esm4","binary_name":"python-git"},{"binary_name":"python3-git","binary_version":"2.1.8-1ubuntu0.1~esm4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69097.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-git","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/python-git?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.1.11-1","3.0.4-1","3.0.5-1","3.0.7-1","3.0.7-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","3.0.7-1ubuntu0.1~esm2","3.0.7-1ubuntu0.1~esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python3-git","binary_version":"3.0.7-1ubuntu0.1~esm4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69097.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-git","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/python-git?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fjammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.1.14-1","3.1.23-1","3.1.24-1","3.1.24-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","3.1.24-1ubuntu0.1~esm2","3.1.24-1ubuntu0.1~esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python3-git","binary_version":"3.1.24-1ubuntu0.1~esm3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69097.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-git","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/python-git?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fnoble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.1.30-1","3.1.37-1","3.1.37-3","3.1.37-3ubuntu0.1~esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python3-git","binary_version":"3.1.37-3ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69097.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-git","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/python-git?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fresolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.1.44-1","3.1.45-1","3.1.46-1","3.1.46-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.1.46-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"python3-git"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69097.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","sc
