Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-06-20 17:16 - Updated: 2026-10-25 23:10
Severity
Summary
Prefect version 3.6.23 is vulnerable to remote code execution due to improper handling of user-controlled input in the `GitRepository` storage class. The `commit_sha` parameter, which is passed to git commands, lacks validation and does not include a `--` separator to distinguish user input from git flags. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary git flags, such as `--upload-pack`, enabling execution of external programs. Additionally, the `directories` parameter can be exploited to inject git flags during sparse-checkout operations. These vulnerabilities allow any user with deployment creation permissions to execute arbitrary commands on worker machines, compromising shared work pools in multi-tenant environments.

"value": "La versi\u00f3n 3.6.23 de Prefect es vulnerable a ejecuci\u00f3n remota de c\u00f3digo debido a un manejo inadecuado de la entrada controlada por el usuario en la clase de almacenamiento \u2019GitRepository\u2019. El par\u00e1metro \u2019commit_sha\u2019, que se pasa a los comandos de git, carece de validaci\u00f3n y no incluye un separador \u2019--\u2019 para distinguir la entrada del usuario de las banderas de git. Esto permite a los atacantes inyectar banderas de git arbitrarias, como \u2019--upload-pack\u2019, lo que permite la ejecuci\u00f3n de programas externos. Adem\u00e1s, el par\u00e1metro \u2019directories\u2019 puede ser explotado para inyectar banderas de git durante operaciones de sparse-checkout. Estas vulnerabilidades permiten a cualquier usuario con permisos de creaci\u00f3n de despliegues ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en m\u00e1quinas de trabajo, comprometiendo los pools de trabajo compartidos en entornos multi-inquilino."
