description

GitPython versions earlier than 3.2.0 are affected by argument injection during branch checkout. An attacker who controls a repository cloned by an application may use its branch metadata to cause Git to interpret unintended checkout options, potentially exposing files readable by the application process.

mitigation

Upgrade GitPython to >= 3.2.0 or later.

fixed in >= 3.2.0

outcome

Mechanism verified: the exploit fired on the vulnerable build and stayed silent on the patched one, but the server it ran against was ours, so no check ships for it.
