NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream checkov package and not the checkov package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories. There is an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-40590. On Windows, GitPython uses an untrusted search path if it uses a shell to run git, as well as when it runs bash.exe to interpret hooks. If either of those features are used on Windows, a malicious git.exe or bash.exe may be run from an untrusted repository. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.41.
