01

What, why and how

A Missing Authorization vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed an attacker to upload unauthorized content to another user’s repository migration export due to a missing authorization check in the repository migration upload endpoint. By supplying the migration identifier, an attacker could overwrite or replace a victim’s migration archive, potentially causing victims to download attacker-controlled repository data during migration restores or automated imports. An attacker would require authentication to the victim's GitHub Enterprise Server instance. This vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.20 and was fixed in versions 3.19.2, 3.18.5, 3.17.11, 3.16.14, 3.15.18, 3.14.23. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.

This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.

Why

The application reaches a protected operation without first confirming that the requester is authorised.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Missing Authorization → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

CWE-862

CWE-862: Missing Authorization. The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.

JVN iPedia · Japanese · JVNDB-2026-004312GitHubのEnterprise Serverにおける認証の欠如に関する脆弱性

GitHub Enterprise Serverに認可の欠如の脆弱性が特定されました。この脆弱性により、リポジトリ移行アップロードエンドポイントで認可チェックが欠落しているため、攻撃者は他ユーザーのリポジトリ移行エクスポートに無許可のコンテンツをアップロードできます。移行識別子を指定することで、攻撃者は被害者の移行アーカイブを上書きまたは置換でき、被害者が移行復元や自動インポートを行う際に、攻撃者によって操作されたリポジトリデータをダウンロードさせられる可能性があります。攻撃者は被害者のGitHub Enterprise Serverインスタンスへの認証を必要とします。この脆弱性はバージョン3.20より前のすべてのGitHub Enterprise Serverに影響し、3.19.2、3.18.5、3.17.11、3.16.14、3.15.18、3.14.23の各バージョンで修正されました。この脆弱性はGitHubバグバウンティプログラムを通じて報告されました。
