Last modified

CVE-2026-110860 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. GitPython from 3.1.62 before 3.2.0 contains a symlink-following flaw in Submodule.move(), which checks the destination only lexically and does not reject symbolic links in intermediate path components. An untrusted repository can commit a symlink such as vendor pointing outside the worktree, so an application moving an initialized submodule beneath it relocates the checkout externally and corrupts the index and .gitmodules.. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
