Github: >> Enterprise Server >> 3.16.20 Security Vulnerabilities
A missing authorization vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed an authenticated user to read source code from private repositories they did not have access to. The
Copilot pull request description diff summary endpoint accepted a cross-repository comparison range and rendered the resulting diff without verifying that the requesting user was authorized to view
the target repository. Exploitation required an authenticated account on the instance with read access to at least one repository to use as the comparison base. This vulnerability affected all
versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.21 and was fixed in versions 3.17.17, 3.18.11, 3.19.8, and 3.20.4. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.

An improper neutralization of input vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed DOM-based cross-site scripting via task list content. The task list content extraction logic did not properly re-encode browser-decoded text nodes before rendering, allowing user-supplied HTML to be injected into the page. An authenticated attacker could craft malicious task list items in issues or pull requests to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of another user's browser session. This vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.20 and was fixed in versions 3.18.6 and 3.19.3. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.

An incorrect authorization vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed an attacker to merge their own pull request into a repository without having push access by exploiting an authorization bypass in the enable_auto_merge mutation for pull requests. This issue only affected repositories that allow forking as the attack relies on opening a pull request from an attacker-controlled fork into the target repository. Exploitation was only possible in specific scenarios. It required a clean pull request status and only applied to branches without branch protection rules enabled. This vulnerability affected GitHub Enterprise Server versions prior to 3.19.2, 3.18.5, and 3.17.11, and was fixed in versions 3.19.2, 3.18.5, and 3.17.11. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.
