CVE-2026-59947 PUBLISHED

Composer: URL-embedded HTTP-Basic username leaks to verbose logs (GitHub PAT exposure)

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 07.07.2026 Published: 08.07.2026 Updated: 09.07.2026

Composer is a dependency Manager for the PHP language. Prior to 2.2.29 and 2.10.2, when Composer is run with -vvv debug verbosity, it could print a credential embedded in the username slot of a repository or package URL, such as a GitHub Personal Access Token in https://TOKEN@host/, to debug output because AuthHelper, Url::sanitize, and ProcessExecutor did not sanitize username-only URL credentials. This issue is fixed in versions 2.2.29 and 2.10.2.
