Echo: dulwich: security update to 1.2.5

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 465406

Description

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

 - Dulwich is a pure-Python implementation of the Git file formats and protocols. Starting in version 0.23.2
 and prior to version 1.2.5, `dulwich.porcelain.submodule_update`, and by extension `porcelain.clone(...,
 recurse_submodules=True)`, materializes attacker-controlled submodule paths from a crafted upstream
 repository without path validation. A malicious `.gitmodules` plus a matching tree gitlink whose `path` is
 `.git/hooks` (or any other directory inside the parent repository's `.git` directory) causes the
 attacker's submodule tree contents to be written directly into the victim's `.git/hooks/` directory,
 preserving executable mode bits. The dropped executables are then run by any subsequent `git` or `dulwich`
 command that invokes the matching hook, resulting in arbitrary code execution. This is the dulwich
 equivalent of the upstream Git fixes for CVE-2024-32002 / CVE-2024-32004, which were never propagated into
 dulwich's separately implemented submodule porcelain. Version 1.2.5 patches the issue. (CVE-2026-52726)

Solution

Update the dulwich library and its related packages to version 1.2.5 or later.
