- Summary
- GitHub Action tj-actions/verify-changed-files is vulnerable to command injection in output filenames
- Details
-
The
tj-actions/verify-changed-filesaction allows for command injection in changed filenames, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code and potentially leak secrets. Theverify-changed-filesworkflow returns the list of files changed within a workflow execution. This could potentially allow filenames that contain special characters such as;which can be used by an attacker to take over the GitHub Runner if the output value is used in a raw fashion (thus being directly replaced before execution) inside arunblock. By running custom commands, an attacker may be able to steal secrets such asGITHUB_TOKENif triggered on other events thanpull_request.This has been patched in versions 17 and 17.0.0 by enabling
safe_outputby default and returning filename paths escaping special characters for bash environments. - Database specific
