CVE-2023-34111
CWE-20Published: June 6, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The `Release PR Merged` workflow in the github repo taosdata/grafanaplugin is subject to a command injection vulnerability which allows for arbitrary code execution within the github action context due to the insecure usage of `${{ github.event.pull_request.title }}` in a bash command within the GitHub workflow. Attackers can inject malicious commands which will be executed by the workflow. This happens because `${{ github.event.pull_request.title }}` is directly passed to bash command on like 25 of the workflow. This may allow an attacker to gain access to secrets which the github action has access to or to otherwise make use of the compute resources.
Risk Analysis
The Release PR Merged workflow in the taosdata/grafanaplugin repository is vulnerable to command injection due to the insecure handling of pull request titles. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands, potentially accessing secrets or compute resources, with a critical CVSS score of 9.8.
No public exploit is known, and it is not in the CISA KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable.
Update the workflow configuration to sanitize input before passing it to bash commands.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-34111 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
