Environment Variable Injection in GitHub Actions
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | @actions/core | < 1.2.6 | 1.2.6 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The `@actions/core` npm module `addPath` and `exportVariable` functions communicate with the Actions Runner over stdout by generating a string in a specific format. Workflows that log untrusted data to stdout may invoke these commands, resulting in the path or environment variables being modified without the intention of the workflow or action author.
### Patches
The runner will release an update that disables the `set-env` and `add-path` workflow commands in the near future. For now, users should upgrade to `@actions/core v1.2.6` or later, and replace any instance of the `set-env` or `add-path` commands in their workflows with the new [Environment File Syntax](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/main/docs/commands.md#environment-files). Workflows and actions using the old commands or older versions of the toolkit will start to warn, then error out during workflow execution.
### Workarounds
None, it is strongly suggested that you upgrade as soon as possible.
