status on security of embedded repos?

Hey.

A while ago there was this discussion about security issues with respect to bare repos embedded in another repo[0][1].

I just wondered what's the status on this? Was that fixed in a way that one can clone untrusted repos and navigate / use git commands within them, without any risk… or is it still open?

Saw proposed patches like: https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1261.git.git.1651861810633.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/#r

But it seems at least as of git 2.37.2, ther's no safe.barerepository option, yet.

Also, couldn't the same happen for non-bare repos, too, or how is that prevented for such?

Thanks, Chris.
