CVE-2023-27581 Description

github-slug-action is a GitHub Action to expose slug value of GitHub environment variables inside of one\'s GitHub workflow.

This vulnerability can be triggered by any user on GitHub on any workflow using the action on pull requests. They just need to create a pull request with a branch name, which can contain the attack payload. This can be used to execute code on the GitHub runners and to exfiltrate any secrets one uses in the CI pipeline. A patched action is available in version 4.4.1. No workaround is available.
