NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream awx package and not the awx package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

GitPython before 3.1.58 fails to validate submodule names from .gitmodules files, allowing attackers to create Git repositories at arbitrary filesystem paths outside the intended clone directory. Attackers can craft malicious repositories with traversal sequences in submodule names that GitPython processes during submodule initialization, creating attacker-controlled Git repositories at escaped filesystem locations.
