Setup PHP: GitHub tokens configured by setup-php may be exposed through pinned affected Composer versions

GHSA-5wxr-w449-57cm

More information

Details

Impact

This affects only workflows that pin an exact affected Composer semver version through setup-php, for example tools: composer:2.9.7.

Workflows using the default Composer version, composer:v2, or no pinned Composer version are not affected through setup-php, because those Composer URLs have been updated to patched Composer releases for all setup-php versions.

setup-php does not directly print the token. The token may be exposed through Composer when Composer validates github-oauth auth and rejects GitHub's newer hyphen-containing token format.

Public repository logs may expose the token. GitHub-hosted runner GITHUB_TOKEN values expire after the job, but exposure may still matter during the token lifetime and for longer-lived GitHub App or user tokens.

Patches

setup-php 2.37.1 skips generated GitHub OAuth auth for pinned Composer versions affected by Composer GHSA-f9f8-rm49-7jv2 while preserving other Composer auth, including Packagist auth.

Workarounds

Upgrade to setup-php 2.37.1 or newer. You can also avoid the affected path by using a patched Composer version: 2.9.8, 2.2.28, 1.10.28, or newer supported Composer releases.

It is recommended to avoid pinning affected Composer versions such as composer:2.9.7, unless you have automations to do timely updates in your workflows.
