@octokit/plugin-paginate-rest is the Octokit plugin to paginate REST API endpoint responses. For versions starting in 1.0.0 and prior to 11.4.1 of the npm package @octokit/plugin-paginate-rest, when calling octokit.paginate.iterator(), a specially crafted octokit instance—particularly with a malicious link parameter in the headers section of the request—can trigger a ReDoS attack. Version 11.4.1 contains a fix for the issue.
