    Summary: Duplicate Advisory: GitPython: Unguarded git read-tree option forwarding in IndexFile.from_tree/reset/merge_tree enables arbitrary file overwrite

    Details: ## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-4gmw-gg2m-w46p. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description GitPython versions before 3.1.58 contain an arbitrary file overwrite vulnerability in IndexFile.from_tree, IndexFile.reset, and IndexFile.merge_tree methods that append caller-influenced treeish strings to git read-tree without option validation or argument separation. Attackers can inject the --index-output option to overwrite arbitrary files with a valid git-index blob, destroying existing file content at attacker-controlled writable paths.
