NVD adds CVE-2026-67308 for a shell injection flaw in Wazuh GitHub Actions workflows before commit 44bf114. Attackers submit pull requests with crafted VERSION.json files to inject commands into environment variables. This enables arbitrary execution and exfiltration of secrets like GITHUB_TOKEN on self-hosted runners. VulnCheck rates it critical with CVSS 3.1 score 10.0 under CWE-78.

A shell injection vulnerability targeting Wazuh workflows has been published to the CVE List and added to the NVD dataset.

The issue affects workflows before 44bf114. Malicious actors reportedly can trigger arbitrary command execution by submitting pull requests that include specially crafted VERSION.json files. According to the record, these attackers inject shell metacharacters into environment variables, which then get interpolated directly into run steps.
Malicious actors reportedly can trigger arbitrary command execution by submitting pull requests that include specially crafted VERSION.json files.

The resulting behavior reportedly enables command execution together with exfiltration of secrets such as GITHUB_TOKEN and AWS credentials when self-hosted runners are in use.
