CVE-2026-5512
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
An improper authorization vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed an authenticated attacker to determine the names of private repositories by their numeric ID. The mobile upload policy API endpoint did not perform an early authorization check, and validation error messages included the full repository name for repositories the caller did not have access to. This vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.21 and was fixed in versions 3.20.1, 3.19.5, 3.18.8, 3.17.14, 3.16.17, 3.15.21, and 3.14.26. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad de autorización impropia fue identificada en GitHub Enterprise Server que permitía a un atacante autenticado determinar los nombres de repositorios privados por su ID numérico. El endpoint de la API de política de carga móvil no realizaba una verificación de autorización temprana, y los mensajes de error de validación incluían el nombre completo del repositorio para repositorios a los que el llamador no tenía acceso. Esta vulnerabilidad afectó a todas las versiones de GitHub Enterprise Server anteriores a la 3.21 y fue corregida en las versiones 3.20.1, 3.19.5, 3.18.8, 3.17.14, 3.16.17, 3.15.21 y 3.14.26.
