Telnyx is now a GitHub secret scanning partner

GitHub secret scanning protects users by searching repositories for known types of secrets. By identifying and flagging these secrets, our scans help prevent data leaks and fraud.

We have partnered with Telnyx to scan for their tokens and help secure our mutual users on all public repositories and private repositories with GitHub Advanced Security. Telnyx tokens allow users to manage their usage and resources on the Telnyx communications and connectivity platform.

GitHub will forward access tokens found in public repositories to Telnyx, who will immediately reach out to the user and work to swiftly rotate the key. More information about Telnyx tokens can be found here.

GitHub Advanced Security customers can also block Telnyx tokens from entering their private and public repositories with push protection.

GitHub Security was recently notified about a caching issue affecting npm. This bug had been present since 2016 and sporadically caused npm maintainers to be re-invited upon removal from packages or organizations. Our Security team investigated potential instances of the issue and believe this bug only occurred if a user was removed, followed shortly by the addition of a different member. This bug affected npm-cli version 6 and above, and was fixed in version 7+.

Out of an abundance of caution, we are recommending all npm users review the maintainers of their projects and organizations for any discrepancies that may be a result of this bug and remove any unexpected members. Please feel free to reach out to us with any additional questions or concerns through the following contact form: https://www.npmjs.com/support.

The GitHub Packages NuGet registry now runs on a new architecture, unlocking great new capabilities:

Publishing packages at organization level with GitHub Packages

Previously, NuGet packages published to GitHub Packages were closely coupled to their repositories. Now packages can be published at an organization level. They can still be linked to a repository at any time, if needed.

Learn more about connecting a repository to a package.

Fine grained permissions for NuGet packages published to GitHub Packages

You can now configure Actions and Codespaces repository access on the package's settings page, or invite other users to access the package. Additionally, NuGet packages published to GitHub Packages can still be configured to automatically inherit all permissions from a linked repository.

Learn more about configuring a package's access control.

Internal visibility

In addition to public and private, a package's visibility can now also be set to internal. It is then visible for all members of the GitHub organization.


These new features are now available to all users on github.com.
