AI-Generated

The GitHub CLI (gh) prior to version 2.97.0 is vulnerable to improper URL handling, allowing attackers to manipulate HTTP request URLs through unencoded variable path components. This could lead to unauthorized access to unintended API endpoints or resources, potentially compromising user data. Users of the GitHub CLI should prioritize updating to version 2.97.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

GitHub CLI (gh) is GitHub’s official command line tool. Prior to 2.97.0, some HTTP request URLs interpolate variable path components without percent encoding, allowing URL path metacharacters in attacker-controlled repository or resource values to make gh address a different API endpoint or resource than the user intended. This issue is fixed in version 2.97.0.
