Security issue: possible command injection in GitHub Actions workflow #3
I would like to report a potential command-injection vulnerability in your GitHub Actions workflow.
The affected workflow file(s) invoke an LLM to process and summarize issues, and then directly concatenate the LLM output into a shell command argument for gh issue comment --body. Because untrusted model output is inserted into a shell command context, an attacker may craft a malicious issue so that the LLM response contains an injection payload.
Impact:
Possible command injection during workflow execution.
Possible leakage of sensitive environment variables (for example GITHUB_TOKEN or GH_TOKEN).
Although these tokens are typically short-lived and scoped to workflow job/step execution, an attacker may attempt to prolong execution time (for example via sleep-based techniques) and abuse the token during that window.
Recommended remediation:
Do not place ${{ steps.inference.outputs.response }} directly in a shell command argument.
Pass it through a step environment variable first (for example RESPONSE).
In shell, reference it only as a double-quoted variable (for example "$RESPONSE").
