CVE-2026-45793
Github Actions issued GITHUB_TOKEN disclosure in GitHub Actions logs
Impact

Prior to 1.10.28, 2.2.28, and 2.9.8, Composer\IO\BaseIO::loadConfiguration() validates GitHub OAuth tokens with the regex ^[.A-Za-z0-9_]+$ and interpolates rejected tokens into an UnexpectedValueException; GitHub Actions GITHUB_TOKEN values using the ghs_<id>_<base64url-JWT> format can contain -, fail validation, and be disclosed to stderr or CI logs. This issue is fixed in versions 1.10.28, 2.2.28, and 2.9.8.
