Prior to 3.2.1, create_submodule() in git/objects/submodule/base.py accepts an attacker-influenced submodule path such as .git/hooks and invokes _clone_repo() before safely rejecting the destination. In 3.1.x, _validate_repo_path() does not exist and the call succeeds silently, while in 3.2.0 and later affected revisions the check in git/index/base.py raises ValueError only after the clone has written to disk and does not remove the planted file. An attacker-controlled submodule can therefore place an executable post-checkout hook that a later Git operation executes. Exploitation requires an application to accept an untrusted submodule path and a clone destination such as .git/hooks that is empty enough for Git to clone into it, which commonly means that default sample hooks are absent. This issue is fixed in version 3.2.1.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-21T20:35:06.548+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-21T20:35:06.548+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"GitPython","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"gitpython-developers\",\n                    \"product\": \"GitPython\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"< 3.2.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/security/advisories/GHSA-83vg-56qc-22m7","https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/pull/2264","https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/commit/97eadb888d2f99567e3113f4e455be4ca128f697","https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/releases/tag/3.2.1"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-114145","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-114145","identifiers":["CVE-2026-114145"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
