CVE-2026-67325Public exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Authenticated command execution via abbreviated Git options

Published Aug 1, 2026 · Updated Aug 1, 2026

Command injection in GitPython before 3.1.51 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands through Git operation options. Git.check_unsafe_options canonicalizes underscores to hyphens but performs exact blocklist matching, while Git expands unique long-option prefixes such as upload_p to upload-pack. Exploitation requires an embedding application to forward attacker-controlled keyword names into clone, fetch, pull, or push operations; applications using only fixed or validated keyword names do not expose the flaw.
