Neither option is in the denylist, so a caller-influenced revision value of `--contents=\u003cpath\u003e` passes the guard and leaks file contents. This is a distinct sink-option and impact class (READ) from GHSA-956x-8gvw-wg5v (which addressed the blame `--output` WRITE), directly analogous to GHSA-539m-9xh6-q6rr (archive READ gap accepted separately from the archive write/exec advisory).\n\n## Root Cause\n`unsafe_git_revision_options = [\"--output\",\"-o\"]` (`git/repo/base.py:188`). The `rev` string is passed to `_option_candidates([rev], kwargs)` and placed BEFORE the `--` separator (base.py:841). The canonical name of `--contents=...` is `contents`, which is not on the denylist, so no `UnsafeOptionError` is raised. The trailing `--` protects only the pathspec, not the option before the revision.\n\n## Impact\nArbitrary local file read at the privileges of the host process; the file's line contents appear in the blame result returned to the caller. Pure VALUE control (the caller forwards a user-influenced revision string). Default `allow_unsafe_options=False`.\n\n## Proof of Concept\n```python\nresult = repo.blame(\"--contents=/etc/passwd\", \"a.txt\")\n# result rows carry the victim file's line text\n```\n\n## Attack Chain\n1. Entry: app calls `repo.blame(rev, file)` with attacker `rev=\"--contents=/etc/passwd\"` (or kwarg `contents=\"/etc/passwd\"`, or `-S`).\n2. Check: `Git.check_unsafe_options(_option_candidates([rev,...], kwargs), unsafe_git_revision_options)` @ base.py:841. Guard: denylist = `[\"--output\",\"-o\"]` only. Bypass proof: canonical name `contents` ∉ denylist → no error.\n3. Sink: `self.git.blame(rev, \"--\", file, p=True, ...)`. argv (observed): `['git','blame','-p','--contents=\u003csecret\u003e','HEAD','--','a.txt']`.\n4. Impact: blame result rows carry the victim file's line text.\n\n## Bypass Evidence\nIndependently reproduced (independent test harness, default `allow_unsafe_options=False`): `blame('--contents=\u003csecret\u003e','a.txt')` → guard PASSED; result rows = `['GATE_SECRET_LINE_A','GATE_SECRET_LINE_B']`.

Neither option is in the denylist, so a caller-influenced revision value of `--contents=\u003cpath\u003e` passes the guard and leaks file contents. This is a distinct sink-option and impact class (READ) from GHSA-956x-8gvw-wg5v (which addressed the blame `--output` WRITE), directly analogous to GHSA-539m-9xh6-q6rr (archive READ gap accepted separately from the archive write/exec advisory).\n\n## Root Cause\n`unsafe_git_revision_options = [\"--output\",\"-o\"]` (`git/repo/base.py:188`). The `rev` string is passed to `_option_candidates([rev], kwargs)` and placed BEFORE the `--` separator (base.py:841). The canonical name of `--contents=...` is `contents`, which is not on the denylist, so no `UnsafeOptionError` is raised. The trailing `--` protects only the pathspec, not the option before the revision.\n\n## Impact\nArbitrary local file read at the privileges of the host process; the file's line contents appear in the blame result returned to the caller. Pure VALUE control (the caller forwards a user-influenced revision string). Default `allow_unsafe_options=False`.\n\n## Proof of Concept\n```python\nresult = repo.blame(\"--contents=/etc/passwd\", \"a.txt\")\n# result rows carry the victim file's line text\n```\n\n## Attack Chain\n1. Entry: app calls `repo.blame(rev, file)` with attacker `rev=\"--contents=/etc/passwd\"` (or kwarg `contents=\"/etc/passwd\"`, or `-S`).\n2. Check: `Git.check_unsafe_options(_option_candidates([rev,...], kwargs), unsafe_git_revision_options)` @ base.py:841. Guard: denylist = `[\"--output\",\"-o\"]` only. Bypass proof: canonical name `contents` ∉ denylist → no error.\n3.
