    Summary: Duplicate Advisory: GitPython: Arbitrary Git Repository Creation Outside the Working Tree via Unvalidated .gitmodules Submodule Name in GitPython

    Details: ## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-hmq2-w58f-27jc. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description GitPython before 3.1.58 fails to validate submodule names from .gitmodules files, allowing attackers to create Git repositories at arbitrary filesystem paths outside the intended clone directory. Attackers can craft malicious repositories with traversal sequences in submodule names that GitPython processes during submodule initialization, creating attacker-controlled Git repositories at escaped filesystem locations.
