GitPython before 3.1.57 fails to guard git option forwarding in IndexFile.checkout() and TagReference.create(), allowing attackers to pass unsafe options via kwargs. Attackers can use --prefix to overwrite arbitrary files with repository content or -F to read arbitrary files returned in-band.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:63385 advisory.

    Red Hat Satellite is a system management solution that allows organizations     to configure and maintain their systems without the necessity to provide     public Internet access to their servers or other client systems. It     performs provisioning and configuration management of predefined standard     operating environments.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:59135 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

    Security Fix(es):

    * automation-controller: notification backends allow SSRF and credential leakage (CVE-2026-71366)
    * automation-controller: webhook status callback SSRF leaks the Git PAT (CVE-2026-71365)
    * automation-controller: project archive extraction allows path traversal file writes (CVE-2026-71364)

    * automation-gateway: path Traversal via unsanitized prefix/postfix enables directory escape     (CVE-2026-44705)
    * python3.12-aiohttp: HTTP Request Smuggling via WebSocket Upgrade (CVE-2026-69243)
    * python3.12-aiohttp: Denial of Service via malformed HTTP responses (CVE-2026-69244)
    * python3.12-django: Remote code execution via GeoDjango spatial lookups (CVE-2026-15307)
    * python3.12-gitpython: Command Injection via Git option prefix abbreviation (CVE-2026-67325)
