Quick fix

PYSEC-2026-3783 — gitpython: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'gitpython>=3.1.58'

Details

GitPython before 3.1.58 contains a config-name injection vulnerability in the option-name validator that allows attackers to forge arbitrary git-config directives by injecting equals signs, hash symbols, and whitespace into option names. Attackers can inject malicious option names like 'sshCommand = touch /tmp/RCE #' to execute arbitrary commands via core.sshCommand or core.hooksPath on the next git operation.
