Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for gh.

CVE-2026-72924[0]:
| GitHub CLI (gh) is GitHub's official command line tool. Versions
| 2.28.0 through 2.97.0 bind the local listener created by gh
| codespace ports forward to all available network interfaces by
| default. While port forwarding is active, a service in a Codespace
| can therefore become reachable through the user's non-loopback local
| IP addresses by other hosts that can route to the user's machine.
| This behavior does not change the GitHub-side visibility of the
| Codespaces port. Instead, it exposes the forwarded service through a
| wildcard-bound listener on the user's local machine, even when the
| source Codespaces port remains private. Exploitation requires a
| network-adjacent attacker to reach the victim's machine while
| forwarding is active. This issue is fixed in version 2.98.0.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
