CVE-2024-6337 (CVSS score: 5.9) – An authorization vulnerability was found on GitHub that allows an attacker to access the contents of private repositories. This vulnerability can be exploited by a GitHub App with “read” permission for contents and “write” permission for pull requests. The issue has been fixed in versions 3.13.3, 3.12.8, 3.11.14, and 3.10.16 of GHES.

Organizations using a vulnerable self-hosted version of GHES should update to the latest version to protect against security threats.
