Remote command execution In python-git

Description

GitPython before 3.1.50 fails to validate newline characters in the section parameter of config_writer(), allowing attackers to inject arbitrary section headers into .git/config. Attackers can inject newlines to create a forged [core] section with hooksPath pointing to attacker-controlled directories, achieving remote code execution when git hooks are triggered.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
