high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408631
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Dependabot is a set of packages for automated dependency management for Ruby, JavaScript, Python, PHP,
Elixir, Rust, Java, .NET, Elm and Go. In Dependabot-Core from version 0.119.0.beta1 before version
0.125.1, there is a remote code execution vulnerability in dependabot-common and dependabot-go_modules
when a source branch name contains malicious injectable bash code. For example, if Dependabot is
configured to use the following source branch name: "/$({curl,127.0.0.1})", Dependabot will make a HTTP
request to the following URL: 127.0.0.1 when cloning the source repository. The fix was applied to version
0.125.1. As a workaround, one can escape the branch name prior to passing it to the Dependabot::Source
class. (CVE-2020-26222)
