NVD description

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into rendered Markdown because the Markdown rendering pipeline rewrote quote characters in already-sanitized HTML without re-sanitizing the result. Crafted Markdown could abuse same-origin JavaScript gadgets to bypass Content Security Policy and gain control of the page DOM when viewed by another user. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to read content visible to the victim, extract embedded CSRF tokens, perform state-changing actions as the victim, and exfiltrate data through same-origin writes. The payload could also propagate to repositories and organizations where the victim had write access. This vulnerability affected supported GitHub Enterprise Server releases in the 3.17, 3.18, 3.19, 3.20, 3.21, and 3.22 series and was fixed in versions 3.22.1, 3.21.6, 3.20.8, 3.19.12, 3.18.15, and 3.17.21. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.

    🚨 GITHUB ENTERPRISE SERVER CRITICAL: NOTEBOOK VIEWER SSRF TO RCE (CVE-2026-77987) GitHub released Enterprise Server 3.22.1 (and matching fixes on 3.21–3.17) on September 22, 2026 with a Critical security fix. Lead Critical issue (CVSS 9.3): * CVE-2026-77987 — notebook viewer SSRF: scheme/host were validated but an explicit port was not, so an attacker with network access could reach co-located internal services. Response timing acted as an oracle to extract instance secrets, which could then be used to obtain remote code execution on the appliance. Unauthenticated when private mode is disabled; any authenticated user when private mode is enabled. Also in the same release: High stored XSS via crafted Markdown HTML attribute injection (CVE-2026-77912), plus additional Packages upload-auth and stafftools token hardening. Fixed in: 3.22.1, 3.21.6, 3.20.8, 3.19.12, 3.18.15, 3.17.21. Self-managed GHES admins should upgrade promptly. ⚠️ Analyst Note: This is an official GitHub Enterprise Server Critical release-note fix, not a dark-web leak claim and not a CISA KEV add as of our check. No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation is claimed in the vendor notes reviewed here (CISA-ADP SSVC: Exploitation none). Credit: Seokchan Yoon (R31n) via GitHub Bug Bounty.
