Security

A security vulnerability has been identified in a core gh dependency, go-gh, where an attacker-controlled GitHub Enterprise Server could result in executing arbitrary commands on a user's machine by replacing HTTP URLs provided by GitHub with local file paths for browsing.

This issue is addressed in this gh release by updating go-gh to a fixed version.

For more information, see GHSA-g9f5-x53j-h563

Copilot Coding Agent Support

You can now assign issues to GitHub Copilot directly from gh, just as you would assign them to a teammate. Use gh issue edit <number> --add-assignee @copilot to assign the GitHub Copilot coding agent, and Copilot will work in the background to understand the issue, propose a solution, and open a pull request when it's ready for your review. If you run gh issue edit interactively, Copilot (AI) will be displayed as a potential assignee. This feature is available for GitHub Copilot Pro+ and Copilot Enterprise subscribers. For more details, refer to the full changelog post for Copilot coding agent.
