CVE-2021-22868 Description

A path traversal vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that could be exploited when building a GitHub Pages site.

This vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.1.8 and was fixed in 3.1.8, 3.0.16, and 2.22.22. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program. This is the result of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-22867.
