What is CVE-2025-53624?

The Docusaurus gists plugin introduces a vulnerability that allows GitHub Personal Access Tokens to be exposed in production build artifacts. This occurs when tokens, which are meant solely for build-time API access, are improperly included in client-side JavaScript bundles through plugin configuration. As a result, anyone with access to the website's source code can retrieve these sensitive tokens. To mitigate this issue, it is crucial to upgrade to version 4.0.0 or later, which addresses the vulnerability effectively.
