AI-suggested
Avoid running untrusted pull requests that trigger the issue-auto-respond.yml workflow or disable this workflow to prevent exploitation. Review and restrict permissions of GitHub Actions runners and tokens to minimize impact.
Description
KanaDojo before 0.1.18 contains a sandbox escape vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code by exploiting the explicit passing of the global require function into a Node.js vm.runInNewContext() sandbox context in the issue-auto-respond.yml workflow. Attackers can submit a pull request modifying messages.cjs to import arbitrary Node.js modules, bypassing sandbox restrictions and achieving remote code execution with full GitHub Actions runner privileges including access to AUTOMATION_PR_TOKEN.
Impact
An attacker can achieve remote code execution on the GitHub Actions runner hosting the kana-dojo workflows. This includes full access to the runner environment and sensitive automation tokens, potentially leading to unauthorized actions within the repository or broader GitHub environment. The vulnerability compromises the intended sandbox protections, allowing arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges.
