Summary
GitPython before 3.1.57 contains an incomplete denylist in the unsafe_git_archive_options guard that omits --add-file and --add-virtual-file options. Attackers can supply these options to Repo.archive() to read arbitrary files from the filesystem and include them in the returned archive.
A flaw was found in GitPython. This leads to unauthorized information disclosure at the privileges of the process running GitPython.
