CVE-2024-1482
An incorrect authorization vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed an attacker to create new branches in public repositories and run arbitrary GitHub Actions workflows with permissions from the GITHUB_TOKEN.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
