'GitLost' Flaw Leaks Private Data from GitHub's Agentic Workflows

A vulnerability in GitHub's Agentic Workflows allows unauthenticated attackers to craft a malicious GitHub Issue in a public repository to extract data from private repositories within the same organization. The flaw, dubbed GitLost, enables silent data exfiltration without requiring authentication or explicit permissions.

Why it matters: Development teams using GitHub's Agentic Workflows may have sensitive code and credentials exposed in private repositories; practitioners should audit workflow configurations and consider disabling or restricting agentic features until GitHub patches this vulnerability.
