Summary

A denial of service vulnerability in GitHub Enterprise Server allowed an authenticated user to disrupt the instance by supplying a deeply nested YAML release notes configuration file. During release notes generation, the file was parsed without a nesting depth limit, causing excessive resource consumption and rendering the instance unresponsive.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that an authenticated user can perform a DoS attack, potentially making the GitHub Enterprise Server instance unavailable to all users in the organization, disrupting development teams and CI/CD pipelines.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade GitHub Enterprise Server to one of the patched versions: 3.17.18, 3.18.12, 3.19.9, 3.20.5, or 3.21.3. If upgrading is not possible, restrict access to the release notes generation feature to trusted users.
