CVE-2026-34041

act is a project which allows for local running of github actions. Prior to version 0.2.86, act unconditionally processes the deprecated ::set-env:: and ::add-path:: workflow commands, which was disabled due to environment injection risks. When a workflow step echoes untrusted data to stdout, an attacker can inject these commands to set arbitrary environment variables or modify the PATH for all subsequent steps in the job. This issue has been patched in version 0.2.86.

Summary
  • (es) act es un proyecto que permite la ejecución local de acciones de GitHub. Antes de la versión 0.2.86, act procesa incondicionalmente los comandos de flujo de trabajo obsoletos ::set-env:: y ::add-path::, lo cual fue deshabilitado debido a riesgos de inyección de entorno. Cuando un paso de flujo de trabajo hace eco de datos no confiables a stdout, un atacante puede inyectar estos comandos para establecer variables de entorno arbitrarias o modificar la variable PATH para todos los pasos subsiguientes en el trabajo. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 0.2.86.
