Echo: gitpython: security update to 3.1.58

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 461416

Description

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

 - 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.
 (CVE-2026-76222)

Solution

Update the gitpython library and its related packages to version 3.1.58 or later.
