Atlantis is a self-hosted golang application that listens for Terraform pull request events via webhooks. From 0.19.8 until 0.45.0, Atlantis does not consistently validate user-controlled workspace values supplied through accepted repository-level atlantis.yaml configuration or authenticated /api/plan input before joining them into local workspace paths. Traversal segments can escape the intended per-pull workspace directory and cause clone preparation or other working-directory code paths to call os.RemoveAll, os.MkdirAll, or related filesystem operations on out-of-bounds directories before Terraform rejects the invalid workspace name. This can create, delete, or reuse writable paths with the privileges of the Atlantis process, causing integrity loss or denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 0.45.0.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in Atlantis workspace handling (versions 0.19.8 through 0.44.x) allows authenticated users to escape the intended workspace directory boundary, triggering os.RemoveAll and os.MkdirAll operations on arbitrary filesystem paths with Atlantis process privileges. A crafted workspace value such as '../../../../../../../../tmp/f1-canary' - supplied via repository atlantis.yaml or authenticated /api/plan API input - causes Atlantis to operate on out-of-bounds directories before Terraform rejects the invalid workspace name. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated user who can either commit an atlantis.yaml to a repository whose pull requests Atlantis is configured to process, or submit a crafted authenticated /api/plan HTTP request. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.1 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H) reflects network-accessible exploitation requiring only low-privilege authentication, with high integrity and availability impact but no confidentiality loss. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Atlantis to version 0.45.0, the vendor-released patch (https://github.com/runatlantis/atlantis/releases/tag/v0.45.0), which introduces both input-layer workspace validation and runtime path boundary enforcement across all command runners. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
