Echo: gitpython: security update to 3.1.47

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462378

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. Prior to version 3.1.47, _clone()
 validates multi_options as the original list, then executes shlex.split(" ".join(multi_options)). A string
 like "--branch main --config core.hooksPath=/x" passes validation (starts with --branch), but after split
 becomes ["--branch", "main", "--config", "core.hooksPath=/x"]. Git applies the config and executes
 attacker hooks during clone. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.47. (CVE-2026-42284)

Solution

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