AI-suggested

A patch is available for this vulnerability. Users should update GitPython to a fixed version where SubmoduleConfigParser disables merge_includes when parsing .gitmodules. Until patched, avoid processing untrusted repositories with GitPython or handle exceptions carefully to prevent leakage of file contents through error messages.

Description

A high-severity vulnerability in GitPython (CVE-2026-78675) allows arbitrary local file content disclosure via the [include] directive in an untrusted .gitmodules file. The SubmoduleConfigParser does not disable merge_includes, enabling an attacker to craft a malicious .gitmodules file that causes the parser to include and read arbitrary files on the victim's system. When the parser encounters a non-gitconfig file, it raises an exception that leaks the first line of the included file in the error message. This disclosure occurs during common read-only operations such as enumerating submodules, without requiring repository updates or checkouts. A fix is available for this vulnerability.
