ETK-2026-463Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.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.
