CVE-2020-15272

CRITICAL 9.6EPSS 1.18%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.18%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In the git-tag-annotation-action (open source GitHub Action) before version 1.0.1, an attacker can execute arbitrary (*) shell commands if they can control the value of [the `tag` input] or manage to alter the value of [the `GITHUB_REF` environment variable]. The problem has been patched in version 1.0.1. If you don't use the `tag` input you are most likely safe. The `GITHUB_REF` environment variable is protected by the GitHub Actions environment so attacks from there should be impossible. If you must use the `tag` input and cannot upgrade to `> 1.0.0` make sure that the value is not controlled by another Action.
