AI-suggested
A fix is available in GitPython version 2.26.0 that applies containment validation to the 'path' field in submodule updates. Users should upgrade to version 2.26.0 or later. The vendor's existing containment guard (_to_relative_path) is applied to the 'path' field to prevent directory traversal outside the repository. No additional mitigation is required if the fix is applied.
Description
CVE-2026-100689 is a path traversal vulnerability in GitPython 3.1.61 and main branch affecting the submodule update process. The vulnerability arises because the 'path' field from a .gitmodules file is used without proper containment validation, allowing an attacker to specify a directory outside the repository. This can lead to directory creation and population outside the intended repository path during submodule update operations targeting non-HEAD commits. The vulnerability is mitigated in version 2.26.0 by applying existing containment guards to the 'path' field.
