Echo: gitpython: security update to 3.1.47

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 455466

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories. From version 3.1.30 to before
 version 3.1.47, GitPython blocks dangerous Git options such as --upload-pack and --receive-pack by
 default, but the equivalent Python kwargs upload_pack and receive_pack bypass that check. If an
 application passes attacker-controlled kwargs into Repo.clone_from(), Remote.fetch(), Remote.pull(), or
 Remote.push(), this leads to arbitrary command execution even when allow_unsafe_options is left at its
 default value of False. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.47. (CVE-2026-42215)

Solution

Update the gitpython library and its related packages to version 3.1.47 or later.
