Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GitPython versions prior to 3.1.58

Description A remote code execution issue exists in the Repo.init() function. The software forwards unsafe git options without proper validation, allowing an attacker to provide a template parameter that points to a directory containing malicious git hooks. These hooks can then execute arbitrary code when git operations are performed on the initialized repository.

Recommendations Update GitPython to version 3.1.58 or later.
