  - Spotipy is a Python library for the Spotify Web API. As of commit
    4f5759dbfb4506c7b6280572a4db1aabc1ac778d, using `pull_request_target` on
    `.github/workflows/integration_tests.yml` followed by the checking out the head.sha of a forked PR can be
    exploited by attackers, since untrusted code can be executed having full access to secrets (from the base
    repo). By exploiting the vulnerability is possible to exfiltrate `GITHUB_TOKEN` and secrets
    `SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID`, `SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET`. In particular `GITHUB_TOKEN` which can be used to completely
    overtake the repo since the token has content write privileges. The `pull_request_target` in GitHub
    Actions is a major security concernespecially in public repositoriesbecause it executes untrusted code
    from a PR, but with the context of the base repository, including access to its secrets. Commit
    9dfb7177b8d7bb98a5a6014f8e6436812a47576f reverted the change that caused the issue. (CVE-2025-47928)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
