"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- GitHub CLI (gh) is GitHub's official command line tool. Prior to version 2.97.0, multiple GitHub CLI
commands printed externally controlled gist, API, pull request, release, codespace, skill, or agent-task
content without neutralizing terminal escape sequences. An attacker who can influence that content can
embed escape sequences that are interpreted by the terminal of a user who runs an affected command, with
impact ranging from cosmetic manipulation of the title or on-screen content to, on some terminal
emulators, command execution. This extends the same class of issue as CVE-2026-45803which addressed only
gh run view --logto the other affected command paths. This issue is fixed in version 2.97.0.
(CVE-2026-64654)
