SCA: security update for @argos-ci/core (GHSA-4x45-gxvp-6283)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 447909

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Argos JavaScript provides official Argos SDKs for JavaScript. Prior to Argos core package version 6.2.1,
 attacker-controlled CI branch or ref values from GITHUB_HEAD_REF or ARGOS_BRANCH can flow through
 config.branch and getMergeBaseCommitSha() when hasRemoteContentAccess is false. The gitFetch() and
 gitMergeBase() functions in packages/core/src/ci-environment/git.ts interpolate these values into
 execSync() command strings executed by /bin/sh -c, so shell metacharacters in a pull-request branch name
 can execute arbitrary commands with the Argos upload process privileges on the CI runner. Successful
 exploitation can expose CI secrets, alter build artifacts, or compromise the runner. This issue is fixed
 in Argos core package version 6.2.1. (CVE-2026-59960)

Solution

Update the @argos-ci/core library and its related packages to version 6.2.1 or later.
