NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3.13-gitpython package and not the py3.13-gitpython package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest 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.
