Request a CVE for a repository security advisory

If you want a CVE identification number for the security vulnerability in your project, and don't already have one, you can request a CVE identification number from GitHub. For more information see "Requesting a CVE identification number."

You may request a CVE for public repositories, but cannot do so for private repositories.

In order to request a CVE for a repository security advisory, the authenticated user must be a security manager or administrator of that repository.

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the repo or repository_advisories:write scope to use this endpoint.
