SCA: security update for GitPython (GHSA-2mqj-m65w-jghx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408994

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. There is an incomplete fix for
 CVE-2023-40590. On Windows, GitPython uses an untrusted search path if it uses a shell to run `git`, as
 well as when it runs `bash.exe` to interpret hooks. If either of those features are used on Windows, a
 malicious `git.exe` or `bash.exe` may be run from an untrusted repository. This issue has been patched in
 version 3.1.41. (CVE-2024-22190)
