# GitHub project boards exposed titles of private pull requests

Public and shared GitHub project boards listed pull requests that reference board issues without checking the viewer's access. An anonymous visitor could see the private repository's path and the pull request's number, title and state, but not its body, diff or files.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Fix

- Boards now skip linked pull requests in repositories the viewer cannot read; the sources do not name a fixed version or setting for self-managed users.

## From the sources

Repository and organization project boards listed the pull requests that reference each issue on the board without checking whether the viewer can read them. When a private pull request mentions an issue on a board the viewer can open, the board revealed the private repository's path and the pull request's number, title and state, to anonymous visitors in the case of a public board. The pull request body, diff and files were not exposed. Boards now skip linked pull requests in repositories where the viewer cannot read pull requests.
