QID 994839: Python (Pip) Security Update for GitPython (GHSA-pr76-5cm5-w9cj)

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

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
