CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2026-48546 — KanaDojo security vulnerability
KanaDojo before 0.1.18 contains a sandbox escape vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code by exploiting the explicit passing of the global require function into a Node.js vm.runInNewContext() sandbox context in the issue-auto-respond.yml workflow. Attackers can submit a pull request modifying messages.cjs to import arbitrary Node.js modules, bypassing sandbox restrictions and achieving remote code execution with full GitHub Actions runner privileges including access to AUTOMATION_PR_TOKEN.

Matched remediation archetype
Command, code, expression, and template injection
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace untrusted values to process execution, interpreters, evaluators, template engines, dynamic imports, and administrative scripting features.
- Determine whether the affected path is reachable across each trust boundary and which service account or host privilege it inherits.
- Review configuration for optional execution features, unsafe compatibility modes, and shell invocation.
Remediate safely
- Replace string-built commands or evaluated code with fixed operations and structured argument APIs that do not invoke a shell.
- Use strict allowlists for operation identifiers and reject unexpected input before it reaches any interpreter.
- Update the affected component and add inert regression tests covering metacharacters, encoding variants, and alternate request paths.
