GitHub hasn’t explained how its private key was exposed, but it created a big security hole. A private and public key are created, with the public key being accessible to anyone and the private key known only by the key pair creator. No change is required for those who use ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) or Ed25519 for their keys.Ī brief explanation: RSA is an asymmetric encryption algorithm that uses a key pair for encrypting and decrypting data. Web traffic to and HTTPS Git operations are not affected.” This change only impacts Git operations over SSH using RSA. This key does not grant access to GitHub’s infrastructure or customer data. ![]() “We did this to protect our users from any chance of an adversary impersonating GitHub or eavesdropping on their Git operations over SSH. “Out of an abundance of caution we replaced our RSA SSH host key used to secure Git operations for ,” the Microsoft-owned platform explained in a blog. That’s why users who connected today to via SSH got a message when logging in that read, “Warning! Remote Host Identification Has Changed.” The IT administrator has to remove the old key and manually update systems to a new key. GitHub was forced to change its RSA SSH key today, after the private key was briefly exposed in a public GitHub repository.
