CVE-2026-67323Public exploitHinoki check available

Command execution via unguarded Git options

Published Aug 1, 2026 · Updated Aug 1, 2026

Command injection in GitPython before 3.1.51 allows attackers to execute commands or truncate files through crafted method arguments. Repo.archive() and git.ls_remote() convert keyword arguments into Git options without the unsafe-option check, while Repo.iter_commits() and Repo.blame() accept leading-dash revisions as options. Exploitation requires a consuming application to pass attacker-controlled arguments to these methods; commands run with that application's privileges.
