Security

Four security vulnerabilities have been identified, and fixed, in this release. Users are advised to update gh to version v2.97.0 as soon as possible.

Several commands (including gh gist view, gh api, gh pr diff, gh release download --output -, gh codespace logs, gh skills preview, and gh agent-task view/create) printed externally controlled content without neutralizing terminal escape sequences, allowing escape sequence injection into a user's terminal.

See GHSA-3m3g-3wcr-px46 for more information.

Some request URLs were built without escaping their variable path components, so a value containing URL path metacharacters could alter the request path and cause gh to address a different resource than intended.

See GHSA-4fjg-2h4q-fwg3 for more information.

gh auth status (without --show-token) could print a portion of the authentication token in plaintext for token types whose format contains an underscore after the prefix, such as github_pat_*, ghs_*, and ghu_*.

See GHSA-cg6r-mpgc-h9mm for more information.

gh attestation verify built the certificate matcher from --signer-repo and --signer-workflow without escaping regex metacharacters, so a lookalike repository or workflow name could satisfy a matcher intended for a trusted signer and bypass attestation verification.

See GHSA-mm27-mwq9-fr5g for more information.

Address project fields and items by name in gh project

gh project item-edit and gh project item-list can now reference project fields and single-select options by name:

# Set an item's field by name
gh project item-edit 1 --owner monalisa --url <url> --field "Status" --value "In Progress"

# Show named fields as extra columns
gh project item-list 1 --owner "@&#8203;me" --field "Status" --field "Priority"

github-cli: 2.96.0 → 2.97.0

Verdict: Safe to merge

This is a security-focused minor release. The release notes call out four fixed CVEs (terminal escape sequence injection in several commands, unescaped URL path components, partial token leakage in gh auth status, and regex metacharacter injection in gh attestation verify), plus new name-based field resolution for gh project and some Go/library bumps. No deprecations or breaking interface changes for the surface this repo touches.

Repo usage reviewed: home/dot_config/zsh/init.zsh.tmpl loads the gh oh-my-zsh plugin (completion/aliases only); .github/workflows/renovate-review.yaml invokes gh pr view, gh pr diff, gh pr review, gh api, gh release view, and gh release list. No scripts use gh gist, gh codespace, gh skills, gh agent-task, gh attestation verify, or gh project, so the security fixes are non-actionable here other than picking up the upgrade itself. Recommendation: merge as-is; security fixes are net-positive with no configuration change required.

New features worth adopting:

  • None that warrant changes — the gh project name-based field improvements are not used in this repo.
