How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable python-git to version 3.1.61-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-git package and not the python-git package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

GitPython before 3.1.55 fails to disable environment variable expansion in Remote.create() and Submodule.add() URL handling, allowing attackers to exfiltrate secrets by supplying URLs containing variable references. Attackers can craft URLs with environment variable tokens that are expanded into .git/config and .gitmodules, then transmitted to attacker-controlled hosts during fetch or pull operations.
