DescriptionGitHub Advisory

GitForge.jl is a unified interface for interacting with Git "forges." Versions prior to 0.4.3 lack input validation for user provided values in certain functions. In the GitForge.get_repo function for GitHub, the user can provide any string for the owner and repo fields. These inputs are not validated or safely encoded and are sent directly to the server. This means a user can add path traversal patterns like ../ in the input to access any other endpoints on api.github.com that were not intended. Version 0.4.3 contains a patch for the issue. No known workarounds are available.

Analysis

Technical ContextAI

Path traversal allows an attacker to access files outside the intended directory by manipulating file paths with sequences like '../'. This vulnerability is classified as Improper Input Validation (CWE-20).
