Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization through the improper enforcement of access controls in the pull request creation and push authorization processes. An attacker can gain unauthorized write access to repositories by abusing the "Allow edits from maintainers" option in reverse-fork pull requests, allowing them to push arbitrary commits to any repository they can read.
