These are "non-reified docstrings" as described ingitpython-developers#1734. They arenot made part of the data model, but most editors will displaythem, including on symbols present in code of other projects thatuse the GitPython library. A number of these have already beenadded, but this adds what will probably be most of the remainingones.For the most part, this doesn't create documentation where therewasn't any, but instead converts existing comments to "docstrings."In a handful of cases, they are expanded, reworded, or a docstringadded.This also fixes some small style inconsistencies that were missedingitpython-developers#1725, and moves a comment that had become inadvertentlydisplaced due to autoformatting to the item it was meant for.The major omission here is HIDE_WINDOWS_KNOWN_ERRORS andHIDE_WINDOWS_FREEZE_ERRORS. This doesn't convert the comments abovethem to "docstrings," for a few reasons. They are not specific toeither of the symbols, they are oriented toward considerations thatare not really relevant except when developing GitPython itself,and they are out of date. Also, because HIDE_WINDOWS_KNOWN_ERRORSis listed in __all__, increasing the level of documentation for itmight be taken as a committment to preserve some aspect of itscurrent behavior, which could interfere with progress ongitpython-developers#790. SoI've kept those comments as comments, and unchanged, for now.
This expands the "docstring" associated with the Git.USE_SHELLattribute to mention the dangers of setting it to True and explainthe old purpose it once served for graphical Windows applicationsand why it is no longer required for that since 2.0.8. (Seegitpython-developers#1781.)Although setting `Git.USE_SHELL = True` or passing `shell=True`should rarely if ever be done and is no longer necessary even inthe specific scenario for which it was once recommended, I havedeliberately avoided claiming USE_SHELL is deprecated at this time.Whether GitPython should formally deprecate it (documenting it assuch and issuing DeprecationWarning on some or all uses) may hingeon whether it is possible for GitPython to incorporate enhancementsthat account for and suppress at least some unintended shellexpansions when shell=True is passed through dynamic methods thatindirectly call Git.execute. The decision may also benefit fromexamination of existing common uses, if any, of `USE_SHELL = True`.

Thanks so much for figuring this out and for making the necessary improvements to the USE_SHELL docstring.
As mentioned, using a metaclass for deprecation seems more complicated than it's worth, but I 'd think the calling it deprecated in the doc string would be sufficient.
That way, for when there is a version 4 of GitPython, some or all of the deprecated items can be removed.
I agree using a metaclass is not justified here. But I suspect that using a custom descriptor, which avoids interfering with other aspects of the class, would be justified, to make it more likely that developers writing code that sets the attribute will become aware of the deprecation. I say this especially in light of how In any case, I will not add a custom descriptor either in this PR. If I ever propose that, I'll use a separate, subsequent pull request, ensuring it can be easily declined without forgoing any of the changes here.
Should I add a commit to this pull request for that change, rewording the docstring to explicitly say it is deprecated? Based on your comment, it sounds like you may be calling for that to be done here. However, based on the "approved" status taken together with the presence of an alternative explanation for not yet merging this PR -- the temporarily broken CI on main due to the bug#1784 fixed -- I'm not sure. I'd be pleased to make that change here (and retitle the PR accordingly) if desired. |
Apologies, communication here was ambiguous as I definitely missed to hit the merge buttonsomehow. I also leave it to your judgement to decide in which way a deprecation notice should be added - to me its main purpose would be to help finding the deprecated item to be removed. Users who upgrade would then hopefully realise that the item is gone, maybe with help of exhaustive change-notes that can easily be searched. |

- Fix spacing in deprecation messages.- Update versions in deprecation messages to reflect SemVer.- Add and fix up docstrings for methods with some deprecated uses.- Add a couple missing docstrings on nearby attributes and methods.- Convert is_<platform> deprecation comment to three docstrings.- Avoid wrongly claiming is_darwin still uses os.name (seegitpython-developers#1732).- Convert some other comments to docstrings.- Make disembodied """-strings docstrings or comments, per intent.- Move some comments that were misplaced during auto-formatting.This commit builds on the changes in94a85d1 (gitpython-developers#1782).
EliahKagan added a commit to EliahKagan/GitPython that referenced this pull requestDec 25, 2023
This builds on106bbe6 (gitpython-developers#1782) to actually deprecate Git.USE_SHELL.Its docstring is updated to state this, but no DeprecationWarningis issued for its use at this time.The documentation for the `shell` parameter of Git.execute is alsoupdated to caution against passing shell=True, but the deprecationis not currently extended to that parameter.Some information is duplicated across the two docstrings. I havedone this because the the USE_SHELL attribute's docstring, whileit is displayed by many editors, doesn't currently appear ingenerated HTML documentation (seegitpython-developers#1734).

I think another purpose of deprecation can be to inform developers of software using GitPython of the risks of setting Therefore, while the changes I have proposed in#1787 deprecate |
Yes, I agree that the PR is a good first step and that a deprecation warningcould be emitted as a follow-up. Since the attribute is bound for removal, in theory all access would ideally trigger a warning to help codebases to be cleared of it. It really depends on the purpose of the warning, as I can also imagine only warning on mutation or when set to true to prevent incorrect usage, which an option to fully deprecate it later and before 4.0 lands. In a way, one could implement a deprecation-ladder if one was inclined, even though I think that this might capture resources that are better spent elsewhere. |
On further reflection and in view of what you're saying, I think the best thing to do is to have a I should acknowledge, though, that when I looked through the various places deprecation notices appeared when working ona0fa2bd (#1787), I found that it was more of an even split between issuing a warning and not issuing one than I had thought. As such, the expectation that a warning be issued may not be as high as I had anticipated, at least among developers who have been working with GitPython for a long time. With that said, I think in most of the other situations where no warning is issued, one could and probably should be. I might look at them all together and open a PR proposing more such additions than just for |
Thanks a lot! I like that change in stance as it also serves as a reminder that getting a 4.0 readycan be a long-term goal. To me, this would be the GitPython as it should have been. Modern, clean, and with fewer bugs around encodings. |

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

Fixes#1781
This does two things:
git.cmdmodule).Git.USE_SHELL, to discourage setting it toTrue, briefly explain why that can be unsafe, and explain the Windows console suppression use case for which it had previously been recommended and that it is no longer necessary or useful for that case (#1781).I have held off on calling it "deprecated," which I think is a decision that could be made later. There may be ways to limit the downsides of
shell=Truethat arise with dynamic methods that callGit.execute(including those that happen indirectly through other GitPython code). If so, and a change that improves the safety of most existing client code that usesshell=TrueorGit.USE_SHELL = Truewould be a breaking change, then that would be a further reason to officially deprecate settingGit.USE_SHELLtoTrue. If so, but it could be done in a way that is not a breaking change, then that might be a reasonnot to deprecate it. In any case, issuing aDeprecationWarningwhen the attribute is set on the class will probably require a metaclass or new custom descriptor to be written, which is more complicated than changing the message and may benefit from being reviewed separately.The reason I've converted attribute/constant comments to non-reified docstrings and "pre-deprecated"
USE_SHELLtogether in one pull request, rather than separately, is:USE_SHELLis more salient, increasing the benefit of the change.However, I would be pleased to sever this into two separate PRs or otherwise change this.
My commit message for106bbe6 notes some of the above-mentioned considerations that may affect deprecation. If you'd prefer those thoughts not go in a commit message, I'd be pleased to amend it (or, if you prefer, I think GitHub will let you force push to my branch for the PR).
