Argos JavaScript provides official Argos SDKs for JavaScript. Prior to Argos core package version 6.2.1, attacker-controlled CI branch or ref values from GITHUB_HEAD_REF or ARGOS_BRANCH can flow through config.branch and getMergeBaseCommitSha() when hasRemoteContentAccess is false. The gitFetch() and gitMergeBase() functions in packages/core/src/ci-environment/git.ts interpolate these values into execSync() command strings executed by /bin/sh -c, so shell metacharacters in a pull-request branch name can execute arbitrary commands with the Argos upload process privileges on the CI runner. Successful exploitation can expose CI secrets, alter build artifacts, or compromise the runner. This issue is fixed in Argos core package version 6.2.1.

Why it matters

Internet-facing
Not identified as a common internet-facing category
Exploitation likelihood
medium
  • Remotely exploitable over the network — no physical or local access required
  • High attack complexity — exploitation requires specific conditions
  • Requires low-privilege access first
  • No user interaction needed — can be exploited automatically
Recommended mitigation

Apply the vendor patch as soon as it's available or already released. Review and restrict accounts with the privilege level this vulnerability requires.

This analysis is generated from structured CVSS vector data, CISA KEV cross-referencing, and vendor/product category rules — not a manual expert review. Treat it as a starting point, not a substitute for your own assessment.
