⚡ A crafty command injection vulnerability lurks in the workflow-checker.yml of significant-gravitas/autogpt! An untrusted branch name can lead to malicious command execution. 🔥 Picture a restaurant where anyone can leave a dish with an order for the chef to prepare. If the chef doesn’t check the order carefully, they might end up cooking something dangerous instead of a delicious meal! An attacker can slip a malicious payload into a branch name and open a pull request, potentially gaining reverse shell access! This could lead to the theft of sensitive tokens and keys, compromising your whole project and leaving you vulnerable to all kinds of mayhem.
Picture a restaurant where anyone can leave a dish with an order for the chef to prepare. If the chef doesn’t check the order carefully, they might end up cooking something dangerous instead of a delicious meal! This command injection vulnerability exploits the insecure handling of user input from `github.head.ref`, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary commands into the workflow. This affects all versions up to the latest release of significant-gravitas/autogpt.
An attacker can slip a malicious payload into a branch name and open a pull request, potentially gaining reverse shell access!
