CVE-2024-1374: 
GitHub Enterprise Server vulnerability analysis and mitigation

A command injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-1374) was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed an attacker with an editor role in the Management Console to gain admin SSH access to the appliance via nomad templates when configuring audit log forwarding. The vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.12 and was fixed in versions 3.11.5, 3.10.7, 3.9.10, and 3.8.15. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program (NVD).

The vulnerability is classified as a command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 CRITICAL (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H). The exploitation requires access to the GitHub Enterprise Server instance and access to the Management Console with the editor role (NVD).

If exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker with editor role privileges to gain administrative SSH access to the appliance, potentially leading to complete system compromise with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (NVD).

The vulnerability has been fixed in GitHub Enterprise Server versions 3.11.5, 3.10.7, 3.9.10, and 3.8.15. Organizations should upgrade their GitHub Enterprise Server installations to one of these patched versions or later to mitigate this vulnerability (GitHub Release Notes).
