Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as an information exposure issue (CWE-200) that allows unauthorized access to private repository names, but not their contents. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 5.3 (MEDIUM) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, indicating the vulnerability is network accessible, requires low attack complexity, needs no privileges or user interaction, and only impacts confidentiality (NVD).
