GHSA-539m-9xh6-q6rr: GitPython: Incomplete unsafe_git_archive_options denylist omits --add-file / --add-virtual-file, enabling arbitrary file read via Repo.archive()

August 3, 2026

Repo.archive() does call the option guard, so this is not a missing-guard report. The guard is present and working; the denylist it consults is incomplete.
