GitPython before 3.1.54 contains an incomplete denylist in unsafe_git_clone_options that omits --template, allowing attackers to achieve arbitrary command execution during clone operations. Attackers can supply --template pointing to a directory containing malicious post-checkout hooks that execute when git clones the repository.

CVE-2026-73623 [HIGH] CWE-78 gitpython: GitPython: Remote Code Execution via malicious Git template
gitpython: GitPython: Remote Code Execution via malicious Git template
GitPython before 3.1.54 contains an incomplete denylist in unsafe_git_clone_options that omits --template, allowing attackers to achieve arbitrary command execution during clone operations. Attackers can supply --template pointing to a directory containing malicious post-checkout hooks that execute when git clones the repository.
A flaw was found in GitPython. An incomplete denylist in the `unsafe_git_clone_options` function fails to restrict the `--template` option. This allows a remote attacker to supply a malicious Git template directory, leading to arbitrary command execution during clone operations.
