CVE-2025-53546 Details
Description
Folo organizes feeds content into one timeline. Using pull_request_target on .github/workflows/auto-fix-lint-format-commit.yml can be exploited by attackers, since untrusted code can be executed having full access to secrets (from the base repo). By exploiting the vulnerability is possible to exfiltrate GITHUB_TOKEN which has high privileges. GITHUB_TOKEN can be used to completely overtake the repo since the token has content write privileges. This vulnerability is fixed in commit 585c6a591440cd39f92374230ac5d65d7dd23d6a.
A vulnerability exists in the RSS Folo GitHub repository within the GitHub Actions workflow file '.github/workflows/auto-fix-lint-format-commit.yml'. This issue arises from the use of 'pull_request_target', which executes untrusted code from pull requests with full access to the base repository's secrets. Exploiting this vulnerability allows for the exfiltration of the 'GITHUB_TOKEN', a highly privileged token that can be used to gain complete control over the repository by writing content on its behalf.
The vulnerability has been fixed in commit 585c6a591440cd39f92374230ac5d65d7dd23d6a. It is recommended to remove 'pull_request_target' from workflows or manage its use carefully to avoid checking out untrusted code. Additionally, 'GITHUB_TOKEN' permissions should be set appropriately based on the workflow's needs.
