Check out my write-up on a seemingly harmless and limited send() in GitHub (CVE-2024-0200) and how it could be used to obtain environment variables from a production container and to achieve remote code execution in GitHub Enterprise Server: starlabs.sg/blog/2024/04-sen…

This is one of the most insane bugs I've discovered, but it all happened at a really inopportune time. 😥 Shoutout to all the Hubbers who got involved and had been working tirelessly on this since the Christmas/New Year period! 🙏
We received a bug bounty report of a vulnerability which, if exploited, allowed access to credentials within a production container. We have patched GitHub.com and rotated all affected credentials, and patches for GHES are available today. github.blog/2024-01-16-rotat…

Notably, CVE-2023-3368 I discovered is a patch bypass of CVE-2023-34960 (unauthenticated command injection bug exploited in-the-wild found by @RandoriSec/@Aituglo), and CVE-2023-3533 is another unauthenticated file write RCE found in the same code location that was overlooked!🙈
