A security vulnerability has been identified in the GitHub CLI that could leak authentication tokens when cloning repositories containing `git` submodules hosted outside of GitHub.com and ghe.com. This vulnerability stems from several `gh` commands used to clone a repository with submodules from a non-GitHub host including `gh repo clone`, `gh repo fork`, and `gh pr checkout`. These GitHub CLI commands invoke git with instructions to retrieve authentication tokens using the `credential.helper` configuration variable for any host encountered. Prior to version `2.63.0`, hosts other than GitHub.com and ghe.com are treated as GitHub Enterprise Server hosts and have tokens sourced from the following environment variables before falling back to host-specific tokens stored within system-specific secured storage: 1. `GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN`, 2. `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` and 3. `GITHUB_TOKEN` when the `CODESPACES` environment variable is set. The result being `git` sending authentication tokens when cloning submodules. In version `2.63.0`, these GitHub CLI commands will limit the hosts for which `gh` acts as a credential helper to source authentication tokens. Additionally, `GITHUB_TOKEN` will only be used for GitHub.com and ghe.com. Users are advised to upgrade. Additionally users are advised to revoke authentication tokens used with the GitHub CLI and to review their personal security log and any relevant audit logs for actions associated with their account or enterprise The CVRF data is provided by SUSE under the Creative Commons License 4.0 with Attribution (CC-BY-4.0). https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/security-announce@lists.opensuse.org/thread/EK3MV2UFLDNRIXIWLVT5CJNSLB2MKFBU/ E-Mail link for openSUSE-SU-2024:14567-1 https://www.suse.com/support/security/rating/ SUSE Security Ratings Container suse/sl-micro/6.0/baremetal-os-container:latest Container suse/sl-micro/6.0/toolbox:latest Image SL-Micro Image SL-Micro-Base Image SL-Micro-Base-RT Image SL-Micro-Base-RT-SelfInstall Image SL-Micro-Base-RT-encrypted Image SL-Micro-Base-SelfInstall Image SL-Micro-Base-encrypted Image SL-Micro-Base-qcow Image SL-Micro-Default Image SL-Micro-Default-SelfInstall Image SL-Micro-Default-encrypted Image SL-Micro-Default-qcow Image SLE-Micro Image SLE-Micro-Azure Image SLE-Micro-BYOS Image SLE-Micro-BYOS-Azure Image SLE-Micro-BYOS-EC2 Image SLE-Micro-BYOS-GCE Image SLE-Micro-EC2 Image SLE-Micro-GCE SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16.0 openSUSE Tumbleweed govulncheck-vulndb-0.0.20241209T183251-1.1 govulncheck-vulndb-0.0.20250814T182633-160000.1.2 less-633-3.1 less-633-3.1 as a component of Container suse/sl-micro/6.0/baremetal-os-container:latest less-633-3.1 as a component of Container suse/sl-micro/6.0/toolbox:latest less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Base less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Base-RT less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Base-RT-SelfInstall less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Base-RT-encrypted less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Base-SelfInstall less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Base-encrypted less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Base-qcow less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Default less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Default-SelfInstall less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Default-encrypted less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SL-Micro-Default-qcow less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SLE-Micro less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SLE-Micro-Azure less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SLE-Micro-BYOS less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SLE-Micro-BYOS-Azure less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SLE-Micro-BYOS-EC2 less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SLE-Micro-BYOS-GCE less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SLE-Micro-EC2 less-633-3.1 as a component of Image SLE-Micro-GCE govulncheck-vulndb-0.0.20250814T182633-160000.1.2 as a component of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16.0 govulncheck-vulndb-0.0.20241209T183251-1.1 as a component of openSUSE Tumbleweed The gh cli is GitHub's official command line tool.
