python-git: GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories
CVE-2026-42215 is fixed in 3 products on 1 platform, first by python3-git 3.1.46-1ubuntu0.1~esm1, released May 7, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories. From version 3.1.30 to before version 3.1.47, GitPython blocks dangerous Git options such as --upload-pack and --receive-pack by default, but the equivalent Python kwargs upload_pack and receive_pack bypass that check. If an application passes attacker-controlled kwargs into Repo.clone_from(), Remote.fetch(), Remote.pull(), or Remote.push(), this leads to arbitrary command execution even when allow_unsafe_options is left at its default value of False. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.47.
