CVE-2020-15272 Metadata Quick Info

CVE Published: 26/10/2020 | CVE Updated: 04/08/2024 | CVE Year: 2020
Source: GitHub_M | Vendor: ericcornelissen | Product: git-tag-annotation-action
Status : PUBLISHED

CVE-2020-15272 Description

In the git-tag-annotation-action (open source GitHub Action) before version 1.0.1, an attacker can execute arbitrary (*) shell commands if they can control the value of [the `tag` input] or manage to alter the value of [the `GITHUB_REF` environment variable]. The problem has been patched in version 1.0.1. If you don\'t use the `tag` input you are most likely safe. The `GITHUB_REF` environment variable is protected by the GitHub Actions environment so attacks from there should be impossible. If you must use the `tag` input and cannot upgrade to `> 1.0.0` make sure that the value is not controlled by another Action.
