QID 996668: Python (Pip) Security Update for GitPython (GHSA-2mqj-m65w-jghx)

This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-40590. On Windows, GitPython uses an untrusted search path if it uses a shell to run git, as well as when it runs bash.exe to interpret hooks. If either of those features are used on Windows, a malicious git.exe or bash.exe may be run from an untrusted repository.

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

CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.8 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5.4 severity.
