How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 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:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

GitPython before 3.1.58 contains a command execution vulnerability in the check_unsafe_options guard that can be bypassed by combining a single-character kwarg with split_single_char_options=False. Attackers can supply a crafted kwargs dictionary to guarded methods like clone_from to emit a joined token parsed as --upload-pack, enabling arbitrary OS command execution at default allow_unsafe_options=False.
