SCA: security update for github.com/runatlantis/atlantis (GHSA-rjh2-4xgw-p2hj)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477700

Description

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

 - Atlantis is a self-hosted golang application that listens for Terraform pull request events via webhooks.
 From version 0.4.0 until 0.47.1, Atlantis passes the pull-request-controlled workspace value from
 atlantis.yaml into Terraform command arguments that are joined with strings.Join(args, " ") and executed
 through sh -c. An authenticated contributor whose pull request is eligible for an Atlantis plan can
 include shell metacharacters in the workspace name, causing arbitrary commands to execute as the Atlantis
 service account without custom workflows, apply permission, or a malicious Terraform provider. External
 contributors can reach the flaw through fork pull requests only when --allow-fork-prs is enabled, while
 eligible same-repository branches do not require that option. The commands inherit the Atlantis process
 environment and can access cloud-provider, Terraform, and version-control credentials as well as files,
 state, and network resources available to the service. This issue is fixed in version 0.47.1.
 (CVE-2026-116676)

Solution

Update the github.com/runatlantis/atlantis library and its related packages to version 0.47.1 or later.
