How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 python3.12-gitpython.

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. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

GitPython before 3.2.0 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows malicious repositories to expand environment variables via separate_git_dir in Repo._clone(), which omits expand_vars=False when calling Git.polish_url(). Attackers can craft a .gitmodules submodule name containing variable syntax so that clone plus submodule_update exposes secrets in .git/modules directory names and DEBUG logs.
