{"cve":"CVE-2026-114145","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-21T21:17:57.250","modified":"2026-10-23T15:17:25.770","status":"Awaiting Analysis","description":"GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories. Prior to 3.2.1, create_submodule() in git/objects/submodule/base.py accepts an attacker-influenced submodule path such as .git/hooks and invokes _clone_repo() before safely rejecting the destination. In 3.1.x, _validate_repo_path() does not exist and the call succeeds silently, while in 3.2.0 and later affected revisions the check in git/index/base.py raises ValueError only after the clone has written to disk and does not remove the planted file. An attacker-controlled submodule can therefore place an executable post-checkout hook that a later Git operation executes. Exploitation requires an application to accept an untrusted submodule path and a clone destination such as .git/hooks that is empty enough for Git to clone into it, which commonly means that default sample hooks are absent. This issue is fixed in version 3.2.1.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-696"],"references":["https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/commit/97eadb888d2f99567e3113f4e455be4ca128f697","https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/pull/2264","https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/releases/tag/3.2.1","https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/security/advisories/GHSA-83vg-56qc-22m7"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-23T16:39:28.036610720+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-114145","score":0.0035,"percentile":0.28367,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-83vg-56qc-22m7","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-83vg-56qc-22m7","summary":"GitPython validates a submodule's \".git\" path only after cloning into it (RCE)","modified":"2026-10-22T16:45:04.297463159Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"gitpython","purl":"pkg:pypi/gitpython","ranges":["<3.2.1"],"fixed":["3.2.1"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
