Actual is a local-first personal finance tool. Prior to 26.7.0, Actual Sync Server's CORS proxy is intended to let authenticated users fetch resources only from repositories listed in the official plugin allowlist. When `ACTUAL_GITHUB_TOKEN` is configured, the proxy automatically attaches the server's GitHub token to GitHub requests. The GitHub API allowlist check uses a raw `startsWith()` prefix test for `/repos/{owner}/{repo}` without requiring a path boundary after the repository name. If an allowlisted public plugin repository is `https://github.com/acme/plugin`, the proxy also accepts GitHub API URLs. Those URLs are outside the allowlisted repository but still pass because their API path starts with `/repos/acme/plugin`. The proxy then forwards the request with the server's `ACTUAL_GITHUB_TOKEN`, allowing any authenticated Actual user to read private GitHub resources reachable by that token. Version 26.7.0 fixes the issue.

GHSA-m62c-5q34-f3cf — Actual Sync Server: CORS Proxy GitHub API Allowlist Prefix Bypass Leaks Private Repositories Through the Server GitHub…

Affected: npm: @actual-app/sync-server

## Summary

Actual Sync Server's CORS proxy is intended to let authenticated users fetch resources only from repositories listed in the official plugin allowlist. When `ACTUAL_GITHUB_TOKEN` is configured, the proxy automatically attaches the server's GitHub token to GitHub requests.

The GitHub API allowlist check uses a raw `startsWith()` prefix test for `/repos/{owner}/{repo}` without requiring a path boundary after the repository name. If an allowlisted public plugin repository is `https://github.com/acme/plugin`, the proxy also accepts GitHub API URLs such as:

```text https://api.github.com/repos/acme/plugin-private/contents/.env https://api.github.com/repos/acme/plugin-secrets/actions/secrets https://api.github.com/repos/acme/plugin-internal/releases ```

Those URLs are outside the allowlisted repository but still pass because their API path starts with `/repos/acme/plugin`. The proxy then forwards the request with the server's `ACTUAL_GITHUB_TOKEN`, allowing any authenticated Actual user to read private GitHub resources reachable by that token.

## Affected Endpoint

- `GET /cors-proxy?url=...`

This endpoint is mounted only when:

```js if (config.get('corsProxy.enabled')) { app.use('/cors-proxy', corsApp.handlers); } ```

Source: `packages/sync-server/src/app.ts:68-70`

## Details

The CORS proxy is disabled by default but can be enabled through `ACTUAL_CORS_PROXY_ENABLED`. The GitHub token is configured through `ACTUAL_GITHUB_TOKEN`:

```js github: { token: {…
