SCA: security update for github.com/nektos/act (GHSA-pc99-qmg4-rcff)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417450
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- act is a project which allows for local running of github actions. The artifact server that stores
artifacts from Github Action runs does not sanitize path inputs. This allows an attacker to download and
overwrite arbitrary files on the host from a Github Action. This issue may lead to privilege escalation.
The /upload endpoint is vulnerable to path traversal as filepath is user controlled, and ultimately flows
into os.Mkdir and os.Open. The /artifact endpoint is vulnerable to path traversal as the path is variable
is user controlled, and the specified file is ultimately returned by the server. This has been addressed
in version 0.2.40. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may, during implementation of
Open and OpenAtEnd for FS, ensure to use ValidPath() to check against path traversal or clean the user-
provided paths manually. (CVE-2023-22726)
