Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • The selected CVSS metric records a network-reachable, unauthenticated path with no user interaction.
  • EPSS is 1.02% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs composer composer and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 30 daysRemediation target: Within 180 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Distribution package intelligence

Release-specific package status

Debian findings are scoped to the named distribution, release and source package. An absent finding does not mean a package is unaffected.

4 package states
Repository candidate not checked

A published vendor fix does not prove that a matching update is enabled and installable on a particular asset. Confirm the local package candidate before scheduling remediation.

Summary
Composer is a dependency Manager for the PHP language. Prior to 1.10.28, 2.2.28, and 2.9.8, Composer\IO\BaseIO::loadConfiguration() validates GitHub OAuth tokens with the regex ^[.A-Za-z0-9_]+$ and interpolates rejected tokens into an UnexpectedValueException; GitHub Actions GITHUB_TOKEN values using the ghs_ _ format can contain -, fail validation, and be disclosed to stderr or CI logs. This issue is fixed in versions 1.10.28, 2.2.28, and 2.9.8.
Remediation
To install this SUSE Security Update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like YaST online_update or "zypper patch".

What, why and how

Composer is a dependency Manager for the PHP language. Prior to 1.10.28, 2.2.28, and 2.9.8, Composer\IO\BaseIO::loadConfiguration() validates GitHub OAuth tokens with the regex ^[.A-Za-z0-9_]+$ and interpolates rejected tokens into an UnexpectedValueException; GitHub Actions GITHUB_TOKEN values using the ghs_<id>_<base64url-JWT> format can contain -, fail validation, and be disclosed to stderr or CI logs. This issue is fixed in versions 1.10.28, 2.2.28, and 2.9.8.

This issue is fixed in versions 1.10.28, 2.2.28, and 2.9.8.

Why

The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. 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 → Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

CWE-200 ↗

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor. The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
