CVE-2025-52569Network attack vector

Unintended API access via repository-name path traversal

Published Jun 25, 2025 · Updated Jun 25, 2025

Path traversal in JuliaWeb GitHub.jl before 5.9.1 allows remote attackers to access unintended GitHub API endpoints via crafted repository names. GitHub.repo interpolates repo_name into an API URL without validation or safe encoding, so ../ segments alter the requested endpoint path. Reachability requires a consuming application to pass attacker-controlled names, and exposed data remains bounded by the GitHub credentials used for the request.
