An attacker could use the exploit via a man-in-the-middle attack if the connection was unencrypted, [125] as they could redirect the user to a URL of their choice.

GitHub (/ ˈ ɡ ɪ t h ʌ b /) is a proprietary developer platform that allows developers to create, store, manage, and share their code.

Versioning symbolic links is considered by some people a feature and some people a security breach (e.g., a symbolic link to /etc/passwd).

If there is no "move" link at the top of the page at all, the page is most likely protected from moving. Ask for the page to be moved at the technical move request page. Click the "Move" option, and fill in the details of your move. If the page is for the main encyclopedia, choose "(Article)" from the drop-down box.
