Affected: Homebrew: checkov

### Summary

In order to resolve some git references, GitPython reads files from the `.git` directory, in some places the name of the file being read is provided by the user, GitPython doesn't check if this file is located outside the `.git` directory. This allows an attacker to make GitPython read any file from the system.

### Details

This vulnerability is present in

https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/blob/1c8310d7cae144f74a671cbe17e51f63a830adbf/git/refs/symbolic.py#L174-L175

That code joins the base directory with a user given string without checking if the final path is located outside the base directory.

I was able to exploit it from three places, but there may be more code paths that lead to it:

### PoC

Running GitPython within any repo should work, here is an example with the GitPython repo.

```python import git

r = git.Repo(".")

# This will make GitPython read the README.md file from the root of the repo r.commit("../README.md") r.tree("../README.md") r.index.diff("../README.md")

# Reading /etc/random # WARNING: this will probably halt your system, run with caution # r.commit("../../../../…

Access repository information conveniently, alter the index directly, handle remotes, or go down to low-level object database access with big-files support.With the new object database abstraction added in 0.3, its even possible to implement your own storage mechanisms, the currently available implementations are 'cgit' and pure python, which is the default.Documentation The latest documentation can be found here: As this version of GitPython depends on GitDB, which in turn needs smmap to work, installation is a bit more involved if you do a manual installation, instead of using pip.
