Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 1 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

The vulnerability has been fixed by the vendor with a workflow remediation commit dated June 6, 2026 (commit 627e0f0a16a7d74b09128106b57dd7e85d2545df). Users should update their OmniBlocks monorepo workflows to incorporate this fix. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

CVE-2026-54594 is a medium severity vulnerability in the OmniBlocks monorepo related to improper control of interaction frequency. Before a workflow remediation on June 6, 2026, the GitHub Actions workflow disc.yml triggered the createDiscussion mutation multiple times for the same issue when it was classified as off-topic. This occurred because the workflow did not track whether an issue had already been converted, allowing repeated edits to cause multiple discussions to be created, resulting in discussion spam and increased moderation workload. The issue was fixed by a specific commit that addressed this behavior.

Impact

An attacker or user can cause multiple discussion threads to be created for a single off-topic issue by repeatedly editing the issue before the conversion process completes. This results in discussion spam and increased moderation workload. There is no indication of privilege escalation, data leakage, or system compromise. The impact is primarily operational disruption and increased administrative burden.

Summary

The vulnerability in OmniBlocks monorepo arises from the GitHub Actions workflow disc.yml running on both issue opened and issue edited events. When an issue is marked off-topic, the workflow invokes the createDiscussion mutation without recording if the issue was already converted or suppressing duplicate runs. This allows a user to create one off-topic issue and repeatedly edit its description before conversion completes, causing multiple discussions to be created for the same issue. This leads to discussion spam and additional moderation effort. The problem was resolved by a commit (627e0f0a16a7d74b09128106b57dd7e85d2545df) that remediated the workflow to prevent duplicate discussion creation.
