GitHub has released security updates for GitHub Enterprise Server to fix several vulnerabilities, including a high-severity flaw that could allow code execution by attackers. Organizations are urged to apply these patches quickly to ensure system protection.
High-Risk Code Execution Vulnerability:
Urgent Patch! cPanel, GitLab Flaws Expose Users to RCE, File and Credential Theft
Palo Alto PAN-OS Flaw Enables Root Arbitrary Code Execution
Critical Check Point VPN flaws allow remote code execution attacks
Cisco confirms CVE-2026-20079 flaw in Secure FMC is exploited in attacks
Hackers exploit PaperCut flaws using hundreds of AI agents, compromising 440 servers globally
CISA Says Chinese Firms Extracted Billions of Tokens From Frontier AI Models
Nightmare Eclipse Drops New Microsoft Defender ‘ShieldCrash’ zero-day
cPanel Flaw Lets Hosting Accounts With Mail Privileges Execute Code as Root
FortiSandbox, FortiOS, FortiProxy ZTNA flaws unveil, while Fortigate firewall actively exploited
Microsoft Patch Tuesday September 2026 Fixed 973 Flaws Fixed, 2 Zero-Days
A vulnerability (CVE-2025-3509) in the pre-receive hook feature of GitHub Enterprise Server could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, leading to privilege escalation and full system compromise. This flaw can be exploited by binding to temporarily available dynamically allocated ports, especially during a hot patch upgrade.
This vulnerability can only be exploited under specific conditions, like during the hot patching process. Additionally, it requires site administrator permissions or a user with rights to modify repositories with pre-receive hooks.
A medium-severity vulnerability (CVE-2025-3124) may let attackers see private repository names that a signed-in user shouldn’t access. This issue arises in the GitHub Advanced Security Overview because of a missing authorization check when using the filter “only archived:”.
Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability:
A high-severity vulnerability (CVE-2025-3246) in GitHub’s Markdown rendering allows attackers to embed malicious HTML/CSS in math blocks ($$ .. $$), which could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS). Exploitation requires access to a targeted GitHub Enterprise Server and privileged user interaction. GitHub has addressed this issue by preventing math blocks from being escaped by dollar signs and enhancing the escape of non-wrapped content.
Affected Versions and Mitigations:
The following versions of GitHub Enterprise Server are affected:
Affected from 3.13.0 through 3.13.13; unaffected from 3.13.14
Affected from 3.14.0 through 3.14.10; unaffected from 3.14.11
Affected from 3.15.0 through 3.15.5; unaffected from 3.15.6
Affected from 3.16.0 through 3.16.1; unaffected from 3.16.2
GitHub has released patched versions to fix vulnerabilities. Administrators should upgrade their GitHub Enterprise Server to the latest version to maintain system and data security.
