Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in GetActionsUserRepoPermission in models/perm/access/repo_permission.go when handling fork pull-request Actions task access to a collaborative-owner private repository. A remote user can submit a specially crafted fork pull request workflow to disclose sensitive information.
