Headline
GHSA-x2pg-mjhr-2m5x: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in semantic-release
Impact
What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
Secrets that would normally be masked by semantic-release can be accidentally disclosed if they contain characters that are excluded from uri encoding by encodeURI. Occurrence is further limited to execution contexts where push access to the related repository is not available without modifying the repository url to inject credentials.
Patches
Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?
Fixed in 19.0.3
Workarounds
Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?
Secrets that do not contain characters that are excluded from encoding with encodeURI when included in a URL are already masked properly.

semantic-release is an open source npm package for automated version management and package publishing. In affected versions secrets that would normally be masked by semantic-release can be accidentally disclosed if they contain characters that are excluded from uri encoding by `encodeURI`. Occurrence is further limited to execution contexts where push access to the related repository is not available without modifying the repository url to inject credentials. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should ensure that secrets that do not contain characters that are excluded from encoding with `encodeURI` when included in a URL are already masked properly.
