GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2023-51664

Summary

The tj-actions/changed-files workflow allows for command injection in changed filenames, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code and potentially leak secrets.

Details

The changed-files action returns a list of files changed in a commit or pull request which provides an escape_json input enabled by default, only escapes " for JSON values.

This could potentially allow filenames that contain special characters such as ; and ` (backtick) 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 a run block. By running custom commands an attacker may be able to steal secrets such as GITHUB_TOKEN if triggered on other events than pull_request. For example on push.

Proof of Concept

Submit a pull request to a repository with a new file injecting a command. For example $(whoami).txt which is a valid filename.
Upon approval of the workflow (triggered by the pull request), the action will get executed and the malicious pull request filename will flow into the List all changed files step below.

      - name: List all changed files
        run: |
          for file in $; do
            echo "$file was changed"
          done

Example output:


##[group]Run for file in $(whoami).txt; do
    for file in $(whoami).txt; do
        echo "$file was changed"
    done
shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}

##[endgroup]
runner.txt was changed

Impact

This issue may lead to arbitrary command execution in the GitHub Runner.

Resolution

A new safe_output input would be enabled by default and return filename paths escaping special characters like ;, ` (backtick), $, (), etc for bash environments.
A safe recommendation of using environment variables to store unsafe outputs.

- name: List all changed files
  env:
    ALL_CHANGED_FILES: $
  run: |
    for file in "$ALL_CHANGED_FILES"; do
      echo "$file was changed"
    done

Release Notes

tj-actions/changed-files (tj-actions/changed-files)

### [`v41.0.0`](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/releases/tag/v41.0.0) [Compare Source](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/compare/v40.2.3...v41.0.0) ##### 🔥 🔥 BREAKING CHANGE 🔥 🔥 A new `safe_output` input is now available to prevent outputting unsafe filename characters (Enabled by default). This would escape characters in the filename that could be used for command injection. > \[!NOTE] > This can be disabled by setting the `safe_output` to false this comes with a recommendation to store all outputs generated in an environment variable first before using them. ##### Example ```yaml ... - name: Get changed files id: changed-files uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v40 with: safe_output: false # set to false because we are using an environment variable to store the output and avoid command injection. - name: List all added files env: ADDED_FILES: ${{ steps.changed-files.outputs.added_files }} run: | for file in "$ADDED_FILES"; do echo "$file was added" done ... ``` ##### What's Changed - chore(deps): update typescript-eslint monorepo to v6.15.0 by [@renovate](https://togithub.com/renovate) in [https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1801](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1801) - Upgraded to v40.2.3 by [@tj-actions-bot](https://togithub.com/tj-actions-bot) in [https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1800](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1800) - chore(deps): update dependency eslint-plugin-prettier to v5.1.0 by [@renovate](https://togithub.com/renovate) in [https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1802](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1802) - chore(deps): lock file maintenance by [@renovate](https://togithub.com/renovate) in [https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1803](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1803) - chore(deps): update dependency eslint-plugin-prettier to v5.1.1 by [@renovate](https://togithub.com/renovate) in [https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1804](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1804) - fix: update safe output regex and the docs by [@tj-actions-bot](https://togithub.com/tj-actions-bot) in [https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1805](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1805) - Revert "chore(deps): update actions/download-artifact action to v4" by [@jackton1](https://togithub.com/jackton1) in [https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1806](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1806) - Update README.md by [@jackton1](https://togithub.com/jackton1) in [https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1808](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1808) - chore(deps): lock file maintenance by [@renovate](https://togithub.com/renovate) in [https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1809](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1809) - Updated README.md by [@tj-actions-bot](https://togithub.com/tj-actions-bot) in [https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1810](https://togithub.com/tj-actions/changed-files/pull/1810) **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/compare/v40...v41.0.0
