ANALYZED


This CVE record has been analyzed and enriched by NVDAPI.com as an independent party.

Description

CloudPirates Open Source Helm Charts is a collection of Helm charts. Prior to commit 271d415, pull_request_target workflow is vulnerable to cache poisoning and OIDC token theft. A pull_request_target workflow checks out fork code using github.event.pull_request.head.sha or .head.ref. This gives attacker-controlled code access to base repository secrets and tokens. A pull_request_target workflow writes to a shared Actions cache. A subsequent release or publish workflow restores from the same cache scope, allowing a poisoned cache entry to execute during release. This issue has been patched via commit 271d415.

Remediation

  • Workaround:low effort

    Do not use the `pull_request_target` workflow to check out fork code. Instead, use a separate `pull_request` job that is sandboxed and only pass safe artifacts to the privileged job.

  • Workaround:low effort

    Ensure that fork-triggered workflows cannot write to cache scopes shared with release workflows. Use separate cache key namespaces or disable cache writes on `pull_request_target` jobs.

  • Workaround:low effort

    Pin all Actions to commit SHAs instead of mutable tags.
