Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization in the RSS/Atom feed handlers, which accept API-token Basic authentication but do not enforce token scope or public-only restrictions. An attacker can access private repository metadata, such as commit information, release notes, tag messages, and private activity streams, by using a personal access token that is otherwise restricted from accessing private content through other routes.
Note: This is only exploitable if the attacker possesses a valid token belonging to an account with repository read access, but the token is configured with limited scopes or marked as public-only.
