GitPython before 3.1.58 contains a command execution vulnerability in the check_unsafe_options guard that can be bypassed by combining a single-character kwarg with split_single_char_options=False. Attackers can supply a crafted kwargs dictionary to guarded methods like clone_from to emit a joined token parsed as --upload-pack, enabling arbitrary OS command execution at default allow_unsafe_options=False.

gitpython: GitPython: Arbitrary command execution via crafted kwargs
GitPython before 3.1.58 contains a command execution vulnerability in the check_unsafe_options guard that can be bypassed by combining a single-character kwarg with split_single_char_options=False. Attackers can supply a crafted kwargs dictionary to guarded methods like clone_from to emit a joined token parsed as --upload-pack, enabling arbitrary OS command execution at default allow_unsafe_options=False.
A flaw was found in GitPython. A remote attacker can bypass the `check_unsafe_options` guard by combining a single-character keyword argument with `split_single_char_options=False`. This allows the attacker to supply a crafted dictionary of keyword arguments to guarded methods, such as `clone_from`, leading to arbitrar
