Summary
Wazuh from 4.3.0 before 4.14.9 contains a server-side request forgery flaw in the GitHub module (CWE-918). The module trusts unvalidated Link rel='next' pagination URLs returned during API calls. A remote attacker without privileges who controls a next-page URL can make the manager send requests carrying the GitHub API token to attacker-controlled hosts, exposing organization repositories and settings.
