CVE-2026-67325: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in gitpython-developers GitPython

0
High
Published: 08/01/2026 (08/01/2026, 15:30:28 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: gitpython-developers
Product: GitPython

Description

GitPython before 3.1.51 contains an incomplete command injection blocklist that fails to account for git's long-option prefix abbreviation feature. Attackers can bypass the unsafe options guard by using abbreviated option names like upload_p instead of upload_pack, which git resolves to dangerous options and executes arbitrary commands.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-67325 is an OS command injection vulnerability in GitPython prior to version 3.1.51. The issue arises because the blocklist intended to prevent unsafe git command options does not account for git's long-option prefix abbreviation feature. Attackers can exploit this by using abbreviated option names such as 'upload_p' instead of 'upload_pack', which git interprets as the full dangerous option, enabling arbitrary command execution.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker with limited privileges to execute arbitrary OS commands via crafted git options that bypass the blocklist. This can lead to high impact including system compromise or unauthorized actions on the host running the vulnerable GitPython version.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, avoid using vulnerable GitPython versions or restrict usage to trusted inputs only.
