    Summary: Duplicate Advisory: GitPython: Arbitrary file read via --pathspec-from-file in IndexFile.remove() and Head.checkout()

    Details: ## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-hh9p-6wh2-4mfc. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description GitPython versions before 3.1.58 fail to validate options passed to git rm and git checkout commands in IndexFile.remove() and Head.checkout().
