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 3.1.57 contains an incomplete denylist in the unsafe_git_archive_options guard that omits --add-file and --add-virtual-file options. Attackers can supply these options to Repo.archive() to read arbitrary files from the filesystem and include them in the returned archive.
