A remote attacker could exploit an input validation vulnerability in the `_clone()` function. By crafting a malicious string in the `multi_options` parameter, an attacker could bypass validation. This allows for the injection of arbitrary Git configurations, such as `core.hooksPath`, leading to the execution of attacker-controlled hooks and ultimately, arbitrary code execution during a clone operation.\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **RHSA-2026:42078** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-07-20 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:42078)\n- **RHSA-2026:42079** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-07-20 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:42079)\n- **RHSA-2026:63385** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Satellite 6.19 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-09-03 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:63385)\n- **RHSA-2026:71210** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71210)\n- **RHSA-2026:71179** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71179)\n- **RHSA-2026:42132** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 · released 2026-07-20 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:42132)\n- **RHSA-2026:67279** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.7 · released 2026-09-14 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:67279)\n- **RHSA-2026:65126** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift AI 2.25 · released 2026-09-08 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:65126)\n- **RHSA-2026:60520** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.4 · released 2026-08-27 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:60520)\n- **RHSA-2026:68764** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Satellite 6.18 · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68764)\n- **RHSA-2026:68771** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Satellite 6.18 · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68771)\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: Exploit Intelligence, Red Hat AI Inference Server, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) 3, Red Hat Satellite 6 · no fix planned: Red Hat AI Inference Server, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2, Exploit Intelligence, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) 3, … · updated 2026-09-24 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-42284.json)\n- **RHSA-2026:68780** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Satellite 6.19 · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68780)\n- **RHSA-2026:68776** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Satellite 6.19 · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68776)\n\n**GitPython: GitPython: Arbitrary code execution via improper validation of clone options** — rated Important by Red Hat.
