## Summary GitPython's `check_unsafe_options` guard (the control introduced by CVE-2026-42215 / GHSA-2f96 and hardened since) can be bypassed for **every** guarded method (`clone`/`clone_from`, `fetch`/`pull`/`push`, `ls_remote`, `iter_commits`, `blame`, `archive`) by smuggling an option token inside the VALUE of a single-character kwarg. In the default `allow_unsafe_options=False` configuration this yields arbitrary command execution via `--upload-pack`. ## Root Cause The guard builds its candidate option list from kwarg KEYS only: `_option_candidates([], {"n":"--upload-pack=<cmd>"})` returns `['-n']` (cmd.py:1042-1046 derives the candidate from the key, never the value). `-n` is not on the denylist, so `check_unsafe_options` passes. But `transform_kwarg('n', value, split_single_char_options=True)` (cmd.py:1600-1606) emits **two** argv tokens `['-n', '--upload-pack=<cmd>']`. git then parses the second token as `--upload-pack` and executes the attacker-supplied command. The guard never inspects the value that becomes a separate argv token. ## Impact Arbitrary OS command execution as the host process (via `--upload-pack`) in the default configuration, affecting all guarded methods since they all build candidates through the name-only `_option_candidates`. ## Proof of Concept ```python from git import Repo Repo.clone_from(bare_repo, out_dir, n="--upload-pack=touch /tmp/ACE;git-upload-pack") # /tmp/ACE created -> ACE. Direct-name form upload_pack="..." is correctly BLOCKED. ``` File-write variant on a guarded revision command: `iter_commits('HEAD', g='--output=/path')` -> candidate `['-g']` passes, argv `['-g','--output=/path']`, victim file truncated. ## Attack Chain 1. Entry: app forwards a user-supplied options dict -> `Repo.clone_from(url, path, n="--upload-pack=touch /tmp/ACE;git-upload-pack")`. Guard: `check_unsafe_options(options=_option_candidates([], kwargs), unsafe=unsafe_git_clone_options)` at base.py. Bypass proof: `_option_candidates([], {"n":"--upload-pack=..."})` -> `['-n']` (key-only), not on denylist -> no UnsafeOptionError (verified live). 2. Transform: `transform_kwarg('n', value, split_single_char_options=True)` -> `['-n', '--upload-pack=touch /tmp/ACE;git-upload-pack']`. Guard: none (guard already passed on name-only candidate). Bypass proof: verified transform emits two tokens. 3. Sink: `git clone -n --upload-pack='touch ...;git-upload-pack' -- <src> <dst>`; git parses and runs the second token. Impact: ACE (marker created, verified end-to-end). ## Bypass Evidence Live-verified on HEAD (tag 3.1.53): `_option_candidates` returns key-only candidate `['-n']`; `transform_kwargs` emits the smuggled `--upload-pack=` token; clone_from with the payload created the marker file; the direct-name `upload_pack=` form raised UnsafeOptionError. All prior bypasses (GHSA-rpm5 underscore key, GHSA-2f96 long-option abbreviation, GHSA-v396 joined short option, GHSA-x2qx multi-before-split) are BLOCKED on HEAD — this is a distinct kwarg-value->separate-token vector. ## Affected Versions `<= 3.1.53` ## Suggested Fix Make `_option_candidates` also emit candidates derived from single-character kwarg VALUES when `split_single_char_options` is in effect, OR run `check_unsafe_options` over the fully-transformed argv rather than the reconstructed name-only candidate list. --- Reported by **zx (Jace)** — GitHub: @manus-use
