Anyone can Access Deleted and Private Repository Data on GitHub

Anyone can Access Deleted and Private Repository Data on GitHub ◆ Truffle Security Co.

Commits pushed to a GitHub fork or upstream repository stay reachable from every repository in the fork network forever, surviving fork deletion, repository deletion and private-to-public transitions. Anyone who guesses a four-character short commit hash or reads the public events archive can retrieve deleted and private commit data, including leaked API keys.
