A fix is available in GitPython version 3.2.0 and later. Users should upgrade to version 3.2.0 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

GitPython versions from 3.1.62 before 3.2.0 have a symlink-following vulnerability in the Submodule.move() function. This flaw allows an untrusted repository to commit a symbolic link pointing outside the working tree, which can cause the application to relocate the submodule checkout externally, leading to corruption of the index and .gitmodules file.
