{"id":"CVE-2023-26493","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2023-26493","generatedAt":"2026-10-23T03:57:59.982Z","title":"In the github repo for Cocos Engine the `web-interface-check.yml` was subject to command injection.","description":"Cocos Engine is an open-source framework for building 2D & 3D real-time rendering and interactive content. In the github repo for Cocos Engine the `web-interface-check.yml` was subject to command injection. The `web-interface-check.yml` was triggered when a pull request was opened or updated and contained the user controllable field `(${{ github.head_ref }} – the name of the fork’s branch)`. This would allow an attacker to take over the GitHub Runner and run custom commands (potentially stealing secrets such as GITHUB_TOKEN) and altering the repository. The workflow has since been removed for the repository. There are no actions required of users.","published":"2023-03-27T22:15:22.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T05:43:28.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security-advisories@github.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-74","CWE-77"],"affected":["cocos/cocos-engine"],"epss":{"score":0.02907,"percentile":0.86879,"date":"2026-10-22","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.91%).
