Security Fixes
- LOW: A malicious user could execute a 'tab-nabbing' attack by exploiting
window.opener
when linking from GitHub Enterprise hosted Markdown content.
- Packages have been updated to the latest security versions.
Bug Fixes
- Promoting a replica could take an excessive amount of time in a multi-replica environment.
- Self-signed TLS certificates would fail to generate on Azure instances.
- Tags created through a release contained incomplete reflog data
- Organizations could be incorrectly suspended via the Suspend User REST API.

Changes
- Optimise Elasticsearch backup process by preferring local copies of indices.
Known Issues
- Images uploaded to issues save with an absolute URL, so they can be broken if the hostname changes.
- On a freshly set up GitHub Enterprise without any users, an attacker could create the first admin user.
- Custom firewall rules aren't maintained during an upgrade.
- svn checkout may timeout while the repository data cache is being built. In most cases, subsequent svn checkout attempts will succeed.
- Git LFS tracked files uploaded through the web interface are incorrectly added directly to the repository.
- Pull request review comments migrated with
ghe-migrator
are displayed in the wrong order.
- Git LFS, release and issue assets, user profile images, webhooks, or Subversion access may be unavailable if an appliance is restarted after applying the 2.12.5 or greater hotpatch—if this occurs, please contact Enterprise Support for assistance.
Thanks!
