CVE-2024-1359Network attack vector

Admin SSH access via HTTP proxy command injection

Published Feb 13, 2024 · Updated May 9, 2025

Command injection in GitHub Enterprise Server before 3.12 allows remote authenticated users to gain administrative SSH access. The Management Console fails to neutralize command syntax in an HTTP proxy setting before processing the configuration. An attacker must access the instance and hold the Management Console editor role; exploitation grants administrative SSH control of the appliance.
