Summary
`auth.TokenForHost` violates GitHub host security boundary when sourcing authentication token within a codespace
Details
Summary
A security vulnerability has been identified in go-gh that could leak authentication tokens intended for GitHub hosts to non-GitHub hosts when within a codespace.
Details
go-gh sources authentication tokens from different environment variables depending on the host involved:
GITHUB_TOKEN,GH_TOKENfor GitHub.com and ghe.comGITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN,GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKENfor GitHub Enterprise Server
Prior to 2.11.1, auth.TokenForHost could source a token from the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable for a host other than GitHub.com or ghe.com when within a codespace.
In 2.11.1, auth.TokenForHost will only source a token from the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable for GitHub.com or ghe.com hosts.
Impact
Successful exploitation could send authentication token to an unintended host.
Remediation and mitigation
- Upgrade
go-ghto2.11.1 - Advise extension users to regenerate authentication tokens:
- Advise extension users to review their personal security log and any relevant audit logs for actions associated with their account or enterprise
