The tempfile.mktemp function is deprecated, because of a racecondition where the file may be concurrently created between whenits name is generated and when it is opened. Other faciliies in thetempfile module overcome this by generating a name, attempting tocreate the file or directory in a way that guarantees failure if italready existed, and, in the occasional case that it did alreadyexist, generating another name and trying again (stopping after apredefined limit). For further information on mktemp deprecation:-https://docs.python.org/3/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.mktemp-gitpython-developers/smmap#41The security risk of calls to mktemp in this project's test suiteis low. However, it is still best to avoid using it, because it isdeprecated, because it is (at least slightly) brittle, and becauseany use of mktemp looks like a potential security risk and therebyimposes a burden on working with the code (which could potentiallybe addressed with detailed comments analyzing why it is believedsafe in particular cases, but this would typically be more verbose,and at least as challenging to add, as replacing mktemp with abetter alternative).This commit replaces *some* uses of mktemp in the test suite: thosewhere it is readily clear how to do so in a way that preserves thecode's intent:- Where a name for a temporary directory is generated with mktemp and os.mkdir is called immediately, mkdtemp is now used.- Where a name for a temporary file that is not customized (such as with a prefix) is generated with mktemp, such that the code under test never uses the filename but only the already-open file-like object, TemporaryFile is now used. As the name isn't customized, the test code in these cases does not express an intent to allow the developer to inspect the file after a test failure, so even if the file wasn't guaranteed to be deleted with a finally block or context manager, it is fine to do so. TemporaryFile supports this use case well on all systems including Windows, and automatically deletes the file.- Where a name for a temporary file that *is* customized (such as with a prefix) to reflect the way the test uses it is generated with mktemp, and the test code does not attempt deterministic deletion of the file when an exception would make the test fail, NamedTemporaryFile with delete=False is now used. The original code to remove the file when the test succeeds is modified accordingly to do the same job, and also commented to explain that it is being handled this way to allow the file to be kept and examined when a test failure occurs.Other cases in the test suite should also be feasible to replace,but are left alone for now. Some of them are ambiguous in theirintent, with respect to whether the file should be retained after atest failure. Others appear deliberately to avoid creating a fileor directory where the code under test should do so, possibly tocheck that this is done properly. (One way to preserve that latterbehavior, while avoiding the weakness of using mktemp and alsoavoiding inadverently reproducing that weakness by other means,could be to use a path in a temporary directory made for the test.)This commit also doesn't address the one use of mktemp in the codeunder test (i.e., outside the test suite, inside the git module).
This makes two related changes to git.index.util.TemporaryFileSwap:- Replace mktemp with mkstemp and then immediately closing the file. This avoids two possible name clashes: the usual name clash where the file may be created by another process between when mktemp generates the name and when the file is created, and the problem that mktemp does not check for files that contain the generated name as a part. The latter is specific to the use here, where a string generated by mktemp was manually concatenated to the base filename. This addresses that by passing the filename as the prefix for mkstemp to use.- Replace os.remove with os.replace and simplify. This is made necessary on Windows by the file already existing, due to mkstemp creating it. Deleting the file and allowing it to be recreated would reproduce the mktemp race condition in full (obscured and with extra steps). But os.replace supports an existing target file on all platforms. It is now also used in __exit__, where it allows the Windows check for the file to be removed, and (in any OS) better expresses the intent of the code to human readers. Furthermore, because one of the "look before you leap" checks in __exit__ is removed, the minor race condition in cleaning up the file is somewhat decreased.A small amount of related refactoring is included. The interface isnot changed, even where it could be simplified (by letting __exit__return None), and resource acquisition remains done on constructionrather than in __enter__, because changing those aspects of thedesign could break some existing uses.Although the use of mktemp replaced here was in the git module andnot the test suite, its use was to generate filenames for use in adirectory that would ordinarily be under the user's control, suchthat the ability to carry out typical mktemp-related attacks wouldalready require the ability to achieve the same goals more easilyand reliably. Although TemporaryFileSwap is a public class that maybe used directly by applications, it is only useful for making atemporary file in the same directory as an existing file. Thus theintended benefits of this change are mainly to code quality anda slight improvement in robustness.

Thanks again for making these improvements, and I will be curious how this impacts the newly added CodeQL analysis and the related issues.
I left a note, which I hope is somewhat useful for context at least.

This is a general test for TemporaryFileSwap, but by beingparametrized by the type of file_path, it reveals a regressionintroduced in9e86053 (gitpython-developers#1770). TemporaryFileSwap still works whenfile_path is a string, but is now broken when it is a Path. Thatworked before, and the type annotations document that it shouldbe able to work. This is at least a bug because TemporaryFileSwapis public. (I am unsure whether, in practice, GitPython itself usesit in a way that sometimes passes a Path object as file_path. Butcode that uses GitPython may call it directly and pass Path.)
This fixes the regression introduced in9e86053 (gitpython-developers#1770) where thefile_path argument to TemporaryFileSwap.__init__ could no longer bea Path object.The change also makes this truer to the code from beforegitpython-developers#1770,still without the race condition fixed there, in that str wascalled on file_path then as well. However, it is not clear thatthis is a good thing, because this is not an idiomatic use ofmkstemp. The reason the `prefix` cannot be a Path is that it isexpected to be a filename prefix, with leading directories given inthe `dir` argument.

OnWindows, GitPython uses an untrusted search path if it uses a shell torun `git`, as well as when it runs `bash.exe` to interpret hooks. Ifeither of those features are used on Windows, a malicious `git.exe` or`bash.exe` may be run from an untrusted repository.### DetailsAlthough GitPython often avoids executing programs found in an untrustedsearch 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 usedGitPython can be told to run `git` commands through a shell rather thanas direct subprocesses, by passing `shell=True` to any method thataccepts it, or by both setting `Git.USE_SHELL = True` and not passing`shell=False`. Then the Windows `cmd.exe` shell process performs thepath search, and GitPython does not prevent that shell from finding andrunning `git` in the current directory.When GitPython runs `git` directly rather than through a shell, theGitPython process performs the path search, and currently omits thecurrent directory by setting `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` in itsown environment during the `Popen` call. Although the `cmd.exe` shellwill honor this environment variable when present, GitPython does notcurrently pass it into the shell subprocess's environment.Furthermore, because GitPython sets the subprocess CWD to the root of arepository's working tree, using a shell will run a malicious `git.exe`in an untrusted repository even if GitPython itself is run from atrusted 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 runOn Windows, GitPython uses `bash.exe` to run hooks that appear to bescripts. However, unlike when running `git`, no steps are taken to avoidfinding and running `bash.exe` in the current directory.This allows the author of an untrusted fork or branch to cause amalicious `bash.exe` to be run in some otherwise safe workflows. Anexample of such a scenario is if the user installs a trusted hook whileon a trusted branch, then switches to an untrusted feature branch(possibly from a fork) to review proposed changes. If the untrustedfeature branch contains a malicious `bash.exe` and the user's currentworking directory is the working tree, and the user performs an actionthat runs the hook, then although the hook itself is uncorrupted, itruns with the malicious `bash.exe`.Note that, while `bash.exe` is a shell, this is a separate scenario fromwhen `git` is run using the unrelated Windows `cmd.exe` shell.### PoCOn 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`:```powershellmkdir testrepogit init testrepocp ... 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`:```powershellcd testrepopython -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 thatcauses GitPython to attempt to run the hook:```powershellmkdir testrepocd testrepogit initmv .git/hooks/pre-commit.sample .git/hooks/pre-commitcp ... bash.exe # Replace "..." with any executable of choice.echo "Some text" >file.txtgit add file.txtpython -c "import git; git.Repo().index.commit('Some message')"```The `bash.exe` executable in the current directory will be run.### ImpactThe greatest impact is probably in applications that set `Git.USE_SHELL= True` for historical reasons. (Undesired console windows had, in thepast, been created in some kinds of applications, when it was not used.)Such an application may be vulnerable to arbitrary code execution from amalicious repository, even with no other exacerbating conditions. Thisis to say that, if a shell is used to run `git`, the full effect ofCVE-2023-40590 is still present. Furthermore, as noted above, runningthe application itself from a trusted directory is not a sufficientmitigation.An application that does not direct GitPython to use a shell to run`git` subprocesses thus avoids most of the risk. However, there is nosuch straightforward way to prevent GitPython from running `bash.exe` tointerpret hooks. So while the conditions needed for that to be exploitedare more involved, it may be harder to mitigate decisively prior topatching.### Possible solutionsA straightforward approach would be to address each bug directly:- When a shell is used, pass `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` intothe subprocess environment, because in that scenario the subprocess isthe `cmd.exe` shell that itself performs the path search.- Set `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` in the GitPython processenvironment 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

tempfile.mktemp
is deprecated for security reasons and the race condition inherent to its use can have an impact on robustness even in situations where the security impact is small or nonexistent. I do not believe the changes made here are fixing security vulnerabilities; I was not able, at least so far, to think of likely ways they could be exploited. Nonetheless I believe these changes are justified, as detailed in the commit messages.Only one of the uses of
mktemp
was in thegit
module itself. Others are in the test suite. There are a few more in the test suite where I am unsure what the best approach is to replacing them, though I hope to propose a change to eliminate them in the future. All of these considerations, as well as the general issues surroundingmktemp
and its deprecation, are detailed in the two commit messages.git
module.See also:
mktemp
. (I'veproposed a fix.) That looks like the only use ofmktemp
in smmap. There are some in gitdb as well, and (as noted) some in GitPython that this PR does not cover.
