Description A command injection vulnerability was identified in GitHub Enterprise Server that allowed an attacker with an editor role in the Management Console to gain admin SSH access to the appliance via nomad templates when configuring SMTP options. Exploitation of this vulnerability required access to the GitHub Enterprise Server instance and access to the Management Console with the editor role.

Recommendations For GitHub Enterprise Server versions prior to 3.12, update to version 3.12 or later to resolve the issue.
