CVE-2025-62794

GitHub Workflow Updater is a VS Code extension that automatically pins GitHub Actions to specific commits for enhanced security. Before 0.0.7, any provided Github token would be stored in plaintext in the editor configuration as json on disk, rather than through the more secure "securestorage" api. An attacker with read only access to your home directory could have read this token and used it to perform actions with that token. Update to 0.0.7.

Summary		(es) GitHub Workflow Updater es una extensión de VS Code que fija automáticamente las Acciones de GitHub a commits específicos para una seguridad mejorada. Antes de la versión 0.0.7, cualquier token de GitHub proporcionado se almacenaría en texto plano en la configuración del editor como json en el disco, en lugar de a través de la API más segura 'securestorage'. Un atacante con acceso de solo lectura a su directorio de inicio podría haber leído este token y haberlo utilizado para realizar acciones con ese token. Actualice a la versión 0.0.7.
