The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202311-01 (GitPython: Code Execution via Crafted Input)

  - All versions of package gitpython are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper user input     validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command.
    Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to git without     sufficient sanitization of input arguments. (CVE-2022-24439)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-26116901d9 advisory.

    GitPython provides object model access to a Git repository.

    CVE-2022-24439, CVE-2023-40267 (follow-up)

        Remote Code Execution (RCE) is possible due to improper user input         validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted         remote URL into the clone command. Exploiting this vulnerability is         possible because the library makes external calls to git without         sufficient sanitization of input arguments.

    CVE-2023-41040

        GitPython reads files from the `.git` directory, in some places the         name of the file being read is provided by the user, GitPython         doesn't check if this file is located outside the `.git` directory.
        This allows an attacker to make GitPython read any file from the         system.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     3.1.14-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-git packages.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0060 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2022-24439:
    All versions of package gitpython are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper user input     validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command.
    Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to git without     sufficient sanitization of input arguments.

    CVE-2023-40267:
    GitPython before 3.1.32 does not block insecure non-multi options in clone and clone_from. NOTE: this     issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2022-24439.
