A max-critical security vulnerability in GitHub’s Enterprise Server could allow attackers to bypass authentication and obtain administrative privileges.<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that the bug (CVE-2024-4985, CVSS 10) only affects implementations that use the <\/span>SAML single sign-on<\/a><\/span> (SSO) authentication approach with the optional encrypted assertions feature enabled.<\/span><\/p>\n

An attacker can exploit the issue by creating a fake SAML response to provision and\/or gain access to a user with site administrator privileges, according to the <\/span>bug advisory<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.13.0 are affected; the Microsoft-owned platform issued an emergency fix in versions 3.9.15, 3.10.12, 3.11.10, and 3.12.4.<\/span><\/p>\n
