Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

GuardDog versions from 1.0.0 through 2.9.0 are affected. In remote project scanning, the scanner rewrites a caller-supplied repository URL using string replacement and then sends the configured GitHub token with the resulting request, so an attacker who can influence the scanned URL can cause server-side requests to other hosts, including localhost, and capture the GH_TOKEN. No fixed version is listed; the source suggests validating that the hostname is github.com and not sending GitHub credentials to other hosts.
