Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data via the gh auth status process. An attacker can obtain partial authentication token values by accessing terminal or CI output where the process was executed. This is only exploitable if an authenticated user runs the process with a token type whose format contains an underscore after the prefix, such as fine-grained personal access tokens or GitHub App tokens.
