parameters, an attacker could bypass the intended request flow and redirect internal API calls, potentially accessing internal services and exposing sensitive credentials. This vulnerability affected all versions of GitHub Enterprise Server prior to 3.22 and was fixed in versions 3.17.17, 3.18.11, 3.19.8, 3.20.4, and 3.21.2. This vulnerability was reported via the GitHub Bug Bounty program.

Why these techniques?
SSRF in unauthenticated public-facing GitHub Enterprise Server endpoint directly matches initial access via exploitation of public application (T1190); credential exposure is a potential outcome but does not map to a distinct technique without further attacker actions.
