AI-suggested

This vulnerability is fixed in ciguard version 0.8.2. Users should upgrade to version 0.8.2 or later to remediate this issue. No other official remediation level or temporary fix is provided. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor's versioning information. Until upgraded, users should avoid scanning directories where untrusted users can create symlinks.

Description

ciguard is a static security auditor for CI/CD pipelines. From 0.8.0 to 0.8.1 , the discover_pipeline_files() function in src/ciguard/discovery.py walks a directory tree following symlinks, with cycle protection via tracking visited resolved paths. An attacker who can plant a symlink in a directory the user (or AI agent) scans can cause discovery to walk into the symlink target and return paths to pipeline-shaped files outside the requested root. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.2.
