CVE-2026-73625 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. GitPython versions before 3.1.54 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the check_unsafe_options guard that can be bypassed by smuggling git options inside single-character kwarg values. Attackers can supply crafted option dictionaries to clone_from, fetch, pull, push, ls_remote, iter_commits, blame, or archive methods to execute arbitrary OS commands via the --upload-pack parameter.. EPSS estimates a 0.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
