### Summary GitHub CLI incorrectly includes an authorization header in API requests to TUF repository mirrors via `gh attestation`, `gh release verify`, and `gh release verify-asset` commands. **Affected users:** - Authenticated `github.com` users who previously ran `gh attestation` commands, `gh release verify`, or `gh release verify-asset`: the `github.com` token was included in requests to `tuf-repo.github.com`, a GitHub Pages domain that is not a GitHub API endpoint. All authentication types are affected. - Users with `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` set who previously ran `gh attestation` commands, `gh release verify`, or `gh release verify-asset`: the enterprise token was included in requests to external hosts `tuf-repo-cdn.sigstore.dev` and `tmaproduction.blob.core.windows.net`. These hosts are not operated by GitHub. ### Details The CLI uses a shared HTTP client with an authentication layer that automatically attaches tokens to outgoing requests. This layer lacks accurate host detection and can incorrectly attribute the target host, providing it with a token it should never receive. Specifically, the host normalization logic collapses any `*.github.com` subdomain to `github.com`, so a request to `tuf-repo.github.com` (a GitHub Pages site, not a GitHub API endpoint) is treated as a request to `github.com` and receives the user's github.com token. For hosts that don't match `github.com` or a known GHES instance at all, the resolver falls back to `GH_ENTERPRISE_TOKEN` if set. The `gh attestation`, `gh release verify` and `gh release verify-asset` commands fetch data from several external hosts as part of their normal operation (TUF metadata from `tuf-repo.github.com` and `tuf-repo-cdn.sigstore.dev`, artifact bundles from Azure Blob Storage). Because these requests go through the same authenticated HTTP client, the token is sent to all of them. ### Impact Tokens were transmitted in HTTP headers to the listed hosts during normal `gh attestation`, `gh release verify`, and `gh release verify-asset` operations. There is no evidence that tokens were logged, retained, or accessed by unauthorized parties. If a token were captured, it would grant the same access as the token holder, potentially including private repositories, organization resources, or enterprise administration depending on token type and permissions. ### Remediation and mitigation 1. Revoke authentication tokens used with the GitHub CLI: - [Personal access tokens](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens) - [GitHub CLI OAuth app](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/using-github-apps/reviewing-and-revoking-authorization-of-github-apps#reviewing-your-authorized-github-apps) 2. Upgrade `gh` to `2.93.0`. 3. Review personal [security logs](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/reviewing-your-security-log) and any relevant [audit logs](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/monitoring-activity-in-your-enterprise/reviewing-audit-logs-for-your-enterprise/identifying-audit-log-events-performed-by-an-access-token) for actions associated with personal or enterprise accounts.
