Packagist Urges Immediate Composer Update After GitHub Actions Token Leak

Packagist is urgently warning PHP projects to update Composer after a GitHub token format change caused some GitHub Actions tokens to be exposed in CI logs. Composer 2.9.8, 2.2.28 LTS, and 1.10.28 fix a vulnerability where Composer could print the full contents of GitHub Actions-issued GITHUB_TOKEN values or GitHub App installation tokens to stderr when the token failed Composer’s validation check.
