For context, in order to star projects on user's behalf you'd need to request public_repos scope[1], so the UI will look like this: https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize?client_id=33a703d01... (I used a random client_id from google search). As you can notice, the UI does not mention stars at all.
[1] public_repo: Limits access to public repositories. That includes read/write access to code, commit statuses, repository projects, collaborators, and deployment statuses for public repositories and organizations. Also required for starring public repositories. (https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/building-oauth-ap...)

NopeCHA
Automatically solve reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, FunCAPTCHA, AWS CAPTCHA, and text-based CAPTCHA with a browser extension.
It seems like GitHub gave them the boot as well: https://github.com/NopeCHA/NopeCHA
It's possible you got caught by some automated system that tries to prevent sockpuppet accounts from inflating stars?

buster is a technically legal software designed to show how easy it is to bypass google recaptcha.... if this continues to work, why not a third party SAAS that allows the same thing via an api?

Ouch.
If you're on Github, go to "https://github.com/settings/applications" and you can see, and revoke, any OAuth accesses.
I just discovered that "Improbable" (the game engine backend company) had too much access, obtained because I once signed up to look at their SDK. I revoked that. (They used to be legit, but then they got involved with Yuga Labs, the Bored Ape crypto people, so trusting them is now questionable.)
