How to fix?

Upgrade Minimos:latest py3.10-gitpython to version 3.1.54-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3.10-gitpython package and not the py3.10-gitpython package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

GitPython before 3.1.54 contains an incomplete denylist in unsafe_git_clone_options that omits --template, allowing attackers to achieve arbitrary command execution during clone operations. Attackers can supply --template pointing to a directory containing malicious post-checkout hooks that execute when git clones the repository.
