## Overview

### Summary

Due to unsafe URL handling, bbot's `git_clone.py` can be made to leak a user's github.com API key to an attacker-controlled webserver.

### Impact

A user who has placed their github.com API key in the configuration for any of the following modules:

* `github_codesearch`
* `github_workflows`
* `gitlab`
* `git_clone`
* `github_usersearch`
* `github_org`

may leak it to an untrustworthy server.

## Affected packages

- `bbot < 2.7.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `bbot 2.7.0`
