NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3.12-gitpython package and not the python3.12-gitpython package as distributed by RHEL.

GitPython before 3.1.57 fails to guard git option forwarding in IndexFile.checkout() and TagReference.create(), allowing attackers to pass unsafe options via kwargs. Attackers can use --prefix to overwrite arbitrary files with repository content or -F to read arbitrary files returned in-band.
