Cybersecurity researchers fromRedHunt Labsfound a GitHub repository belonging to a Mercedes employee in late September 2023.
This repository contained a GitHub token which granted access to the companys internal GitHub Enterprise Server.
The researchers suggest that this was a major mishap that could cost the company dearly.
By reverse-engineering the source code, other automakers can uncover the secrets of proprietary tech.
However, in a statement given toBleepingComputer, Mercedes says that wont be the case.
We have revoked the respective token and removed the public repository immediately.
Customer data was not affected as our current analysis shows.
