Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information from private repositories within an organization.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in the org-level Actions run and job API endpoints when handling requests to list workflow runs or jobs for an organization. A remote user can send requests to the org-level Actions APIs to disclose sensitive information from private repositories within an organization.
