SCA: security update for github.com/ossf/allstar (GHSA-33f4-mjch-7fpr)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435577
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Allstar is a GitHub App to set and enforce security policies. In versions prior to 4.5, a vulnerability in
Allstar’s Reviewbot component caused inbound webhook requests to be validated against a hard-coded, shared
secret. The value used for the secret token was compiled into the Allstar binary and could not be
configured at runtime. In practice, this meant that every deployment using Reviewbot would validate
requests with the same secret unless the operator modified source code and rebuilt the component - an
expectation that is not documented and is easy to miss. All Allstar releases prior to v4.5 that include
the Reviewbot code path are affected. Deployments on v4.5 and later are not affected. Those who have not
enabled or exposed the Reviewbot endpoint are not exposed to this issue. (CVE-2025-61926)
