Summary
Lack of validation for user-provided fields in GitHub.jl
Details

There is a lack of input validation for user-provided values in certain functions.

In the GitHub.repo() function, the user can provide any string for the repo_name field. These inputs are not validated or safely encoded and are sent directly to the server.

Impact

This means a user can add path traversal patterns like ../ in the input to access any other endpoints on api.github.com that were not intended.

Patches

Users should upgrade immediately to v5.9.1 or later. All prior versions are vulnerable. We recommend users upgrade to v5.10.0

Workarounds

None

References

Fixed by: https://github.com/JuliaWeb/GitHub.jl/pull/224 (which is available in v5.9.1).
