GitPython before 3.1.58 fails to validate submodule names from.gitmodules files, allowing attackers to create Git repositories at arbitrary filesystem paths outside the intended clone directory. Attackers can craft malicious repositories with traversal sequences in submodule names that GitPython processes during submodule initialization, creating attacker-controlled Git repositories at escaped filesystem locations. A remote attacker could craft a malicious Git repository containing specially formed submodule names with directory traversal sequences. CVE-2026-76222 is a path-traversal flaw in GitPython submodule handling: cloning a malicious repository and initializing its submodules can create files or repositories outside the intended directory, because GitPython omits the…
