Echo: python-git: security update to 3.1.50

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474846

Description

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

 - GitPython 3.1.50 fails to recognize joined short-option forms such as -u<value> (the short form of
 --upload-pack=<value>) when enforcing its default unsafe-option gate. When an application passes attacker-
 influenced clone options into Repo.clone_from(..., multi_options=..., allow_unsafe_options=False), an
 attacker can supply -u<helper> to bypass the gate that blocks --upload-pack/-u, causing Git to execute the
 specified helper command during clone. Fixed in 3.1.51. (CVE-2026-67324)

Solution

Update the python-git library and its related packages to version 3.1.50 or later.
