Description
dbt enables data analysts and engineers to transform their data using the same practices that software engineers use to build applications. Inside the reusable workflow dbt-labs/actions/blob/main/.github/workflows/open-issue-in-repo.yml, the prep job uses peter-evans/find-comment to search for an existing comment indicating that a docs issue has already been opened. The output steps.issue_comment.outputs.comment-body is then interpolated directly into a bash if statement. Because comment-body is attacker-controlled text and is inserted into shell syntax without escaping, a malicious comment body can break out of the quoted string and inject arbitrary shell commands. This vulnerability is fixed with commit bbed8d28354e9c644c5a7df13946a3a0451f9ab9.
Analysis
Command injection in dbt-labs/actions workflow allows remote code execution via malicious GitHub issue comments. Unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary shell commands through unescaped comment-body output in the open-issue-in-repo.yml reusable workflow, affecting dbt-core infrastructure. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Immediately disable or restrict the open-issue-in-repo.yml reusable workflow in all dbt repositories and dependent projects; audit GitHub Actions runner logs for suspicious issue comment activity. Within 7 days: Review all GitHub issue comments on public repositories for command injection patterns; rotate any credentials or tokens that may have been exposed through CI/CD runners; implement mandatory code review for all workflow modifications. …
