Github.com added to URLHaus malware database (github.com/abusech)

Noticed github.com wasn't loading correctly on my browser. First I suspected my adblocker, then Firefox, and after it didn't work on Chrome, I knew there was something wrong. Found on reddit [0] that Github and Cyble URLS somehow got added to the URLHaus malware database, which sources lots of malware blockers... and that's why nothing works :).

Same here, SurfShark produces the following error:

    {
        "websiteUrl": "https://github.com/XXX/YYY/",
        "blockedUrl": "https://github.githubassets.com/assets/vendors-node_modules_github_catalyst_lib_index_js-node_modules_primer_live-region-element_dis-b2aea6-22827f205bdc.js",
        "listVersion": "2025-05-28T00:09:29Z",
        "type": "malware"
    }


I'm getting this too. Nothing listed on the github status page yet: https://www.githubstatus.com/

Edit - the status page now mentions an issue.


Well, that explains why I couldn't diff across forks.


Same here.
