CVE-2022-24439: GitPython vulnerable to Remote Code Execution due to improper user input validation

December 6, 2022 (updated November 18, 2024)

All versions of package gitpython are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper user input validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to git without sufficient sanitization of input arguments.
