Clarify license and make module top comments more consistent #1730
Conversation
This improves the consistency of top-of-module comments as follows: - All names of the current file are removed. Some included these while others didn't. In general, this can be useful information, which can remind readers and developers of what the file is and may even reduce mistakes. However, in GitPython, many modules inside git/ have the same name as other modules in other subdirectories of git/. So the presence of filenames would often be the same for multiple files, a condition that would be intensified if consistency were achieved by adding them everywhere. This instead removes them, which should (albeit slightly) decrease the risk of confusing modules that have the same name as each other. - All modules (.py files) inside git/ and test/, except for .py files that are entirely empty (without even comments) or are inside test/fixtures/, now have comments indicating the license and linking to it on opensource.org. Previously, some modules had this, while others did not. The comment about the license is short, and does not contain an explicit copyright statement. No new explicit copyright statements are added, but some top-of-modules already contained them, and this does not remove (nor update or otherwise modify) them. Although explicit copyright statements are not touched, all the license comments are modified, including where they had previously appeared, to say "the 3-Clause BSD License" instead of "the BSD License", since there is no specific license known as the "BSD License" (and both the 2-clause and 3-clause BSD licenses are very popular). This change should not be confused with gitpython-developers#1662, which fixed an originally correct hyperlink that had come to redirect to a page about a different license. The change here does not change the link again. It makes the commented wording more specific, so that it is clear, even without looking at the link, which BSD license is being referred to.
The license in README.md was named as "New BSD License", which is in practice unambiguous, but no longer as readily recognized as is "3-Clause BSD License". This updates the wording to call it by the latter name, for that reason and for consistency with the previous commit's changes to top-of-module comments, while also noting parenthetically that it is also called the New BSD License. The main reason for retaining "New BSD License" parenthetically is to prevent anyone from being confused into thinking this change is in any way associated with a change to the license, or that any license change has occurred or is forthcoming. (This does *not* change how GitPython is actually licensed in any way.)
This uses "BSD-3-Clause" instead of "BSD" as the "license" metadata in setup.py. "BSD-3-Clause" is the SPDX license identifier for the BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License (the license GitPython uses): https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause.html There is no requirement to use an SPDX license identifier here, but it is one of the common approaches, and it has the advantage of making unambiguously clear, when a package is published on PyPI, exactly what license it uses. In contrast, the license-related *classifier* is unchanged, since no more specific classfifier than what is in use now is currently available. The combination should result in License: BSD License (BSD-3-Clause) being shown under "Meta" on PyPI, as of the next PyPI release. This can be seen in other projects that use this combination of license keyword argument and license-related classifier, such as: https://pypi.org/project/flask-restx/

Thanks a lot for (what feels like) finalizing the improvement to the license which should now have arrived in its final state :). Great work!
(The commit message has significant further details about this.)
Thanks for mentioning this specifically, that does help to make me take a look where otherwise I might not have done that.

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. ### Details Although GitPython often avoids executing programs found in an untrusted search path since 3.1.33, two situations remain where this still occurs. Either can allow arbitrary code execution under some circumstances. #### When a shell is used GitPython can be told to run `git` commands through a shell rather than as direct subprocesses, by passing `shell=True` to any method that accepts it, or by both setting `Git.USE_SHELL = True` and not passing `shell=False`. Then the Windows `cmd.exe` shell process performs the path search, and GitPython does not prevent that shell from finding and running `git` in the current directory. When GitPython runs `git` directly rather than through a shell, the GitPython process performs the path search, and currently omits the current directory by setting `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` in its own environment during the `Popen` call. Although the `cmd.exe` shell will honor this environment variable when present, GitPython does not currently pass it into the shell subprocess's environment. Furthermore, because GitPython sets the subprocess CWD to the root of a repository's working tree, using a shell will run a malicious `git.exe` in an untrusted repository even if GitPython itself is run from a trusted location. This also applies if `Git.execute` is called directly with `shell=True` (or after `Git.USE_SHELL = True`) to run any command. #### When hook scripts are run On Windows, GitPython uses `bash.exe` to run hooks that appear to be scripts. However, unlike when running `git`, no steps are taken to avoid finding and running `bash.exe` in the current directory. This allows the author of an untrusted fork or branch to cause a malicious `bash.exe` to be run in some otherwise safe workflows. An example of such a scenario is if the user installs a trusted hook while on a trusted branch, then switches to an untrusted feature branch (possibly from a fork) to review proposed changes. If the untrusted feature branch contains a malicious `bash.exe` and the user's current working directory is the working tree, and the user performs an action that runs the hook, then although the hook itself is uncorrupted, it runs with the malicious `bash.exe`. Note that, while `bash.exe` is a shell, this is a separate scenario from when `git` is run using the unrelated Windows `cmd.exe` shell. ### PoC On Windows, create a `git.exe` file in a repository. Then create a `Repo` object, and call any method through it (directly or indirectly) that supports the `shell` keyword argument with `shell=True`: ```powershell mkdir testrepo git init testrepo cp ... testrepo git.exe # Replace "..." with any executable of choice. python -c "import git; print(git.Repo('testrepo').git.version(shell=True))" ``` The `git.exe` executable in the repository directory will be run. Or use no `Repo` object, but do it from the location with the `git.exe`: ```powershell cd testrepo python -c "import git; print(git.Git().version(shell=True))" ``` The `git.exe` executable in the current directory will be run. For the scenario with hooks, install a hook in a repository, create a `bash.exe` file in the current directory, and perform an operation that causes GitPython to attempt to run the hook: ```powershell mkdir testrepo cd testrepo git init mv .git/hooks/pre-commit.sample .git/hooks/pre-commit cp ... bash.exe # Replace "..." with any executable of choice. echo "Some text" >file.txt git add file.txt python -c "import git; git.Repo().index.commit('Some message')" ``` The `bash.exe` executable in the current directory will be run. ### Impact The greatest impact is probably in applications that set `Git.USE_SHELL = True` for historical reasons. (Undesired console windows had, in the past, been created in some kinds of applications, when it was not used.) Such an application may be vulnerable to arbitrary code execution from a malicious repository, even with no other exacerbating conditions. This is to say that, if a shell is used to run `git`, the full effect of CVE-2023-40590 is still present. Furthermore, as noted above, running the application itself from a trusted directory is not a sufficient mitigation. An application that does not direct GitPython to use a shell to run `git` subprocesses thus avoids most of the risk. However, there is no such straightforward way to prevent GitPython from running `bash.exe` to interpret hooks. So while the conditions needed for that to be exploited are more involved, it may be harder to mitigate decisively prior to patching. ### Possible solutions A straightforward approach would be to address each bug directly: - When a shell is used, pass `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` into the subprocess environment, because in that scenario the subprocess is the `cmd.exe` shell that itself performs the path search. - Set `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` in the GitPython process environment during the `Popen` call made to run hooks with a `bash.exe` subprocess. These need only be done on Windows. --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>gitpython-developers/GitPython (GitPython)</summary> ### [`v3.1.41`](https://togithub.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/releases/tag/3.1.41): - fix Windows security issue [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/compare/3.1.40...3.1.41) The details about the Windows security issue [can be found in this advisory](https://togithub.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/security/advisories/GHSA-2mqj-m65w-jghx).

While working on #1725, I noticed that comments at the top of modules might be made clearer and more consistent, but judged that such a change would be easier to review if proposed in a separate PR. So I've proposed those changes here instead, and included closely logically related changes as well.
This does not attempt to change the terms under which the project is licensed, nor does it change the license file. However, the changes here do include a change to some of the metadata used to specify the license, which will result in some license information being displayed differently on PyPI. I believe this change is for the better, of course, or I wouldn't be proposing it--it more specifically identifies the exact BSD license this project uses, the 3-Clause BSD License--but I recognize that this may merit special scrutiny in review.
Changes are presented in more detail in the three commit messages. In brief summary (the first commit covering the first three of these points):
setup.py
is modified to pass"BSD-3-Clause"
for thelicense=
keyword argument tosetup
, instead of"BSD"
. The license-related classifier is not changed, since no more specific classifier is available. (The commit message has significant further details about this.)
