CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2026-48547 — KanaDojo security vulnerability
KanaDojo contains a command injection vulnerability that allows an attacker with pull request access to execute arbitrary shell commands by inserting shell metacharacters into the version or changes fields of patchNotesData.json, which are interpolated unsanitized into a child_process.execSync() call in the release.yml workflow. Attackers can have a malicious pull request merged to trigger the GitHub Actions runner with contents write permissions and access to GITHUB_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.
