Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability in Skim allows attackers to execute malicious code by opening a pull request from a controlled fork. The generate-files job in .github/workflows/pr.yml executes code from this fork, having access to sensitive data such as SKIM_RS_BOT_PRIVATE_KEY and GITHUB_TOKEN.

Risk Assessment

The organization may be exposed to the execution of malicious code, potentially leading to data theft or system takeover. Any GitHub user can exploit this vulnerability, increasing the risk.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update to the version containing the fix bf63404ad51985b00ed304690ba9d477860a5a75 and implement additional safeguards when opening pull requests from forks.

Original NVD description (English source)

Skim is a fuzzy finder designed to through files, lines, and commands. The generate-files job in .github/workflows/pr.yml checks out attacker-controlled fork code and executes it via cargo run, with access to SKIM_RS_BOT_PRIVATE_KEY and GITHUB_TOKEN (contents:write). No gates prevent exploitation - any GitHub user can trigger this by opening a pull request from a fork. This vulnerability is fixed with commit bf63404ad51985b00ed304690ba9d477860a5a75.
