Report vulnerabilities through GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting.
Do not open a public Issue containing exploit details, credentials, private repository data or personal information. If Private Vulnerability Reporting is unavailable, open a public Issue that only asks the maintainer to enable a private channel; do not include sensitive details.
GitHub OSS Ops must never:
- ask a user to paste a PAT, API key or password into chat;
- search a home directory, editor configuration, MCP configuration or shell history for credentials;
- print, log, commit or persist credentials in the skill directory;
- place credentials in a Git remote URL;
- request broader GitHub permissions than the approved operation requires.
If a credential appears in chat, logs or a commit, stop the affected write operation, advise immediate revocation/rotation and verify the repository history before release.
Only the latest published release is actively supported.
