Code Injection in coreshop/core-shop (CVE-2026-41249)
Summary
Code injection in coreshop/core-shop (CVE-2026-41249). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via pull_request_target.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
The GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/static.yml) uses the pull_request_target trigger but dangerously checks out the unverified code from the pull request head (ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.ref }}). Subsequently, it executes a script (bin/console) from this untrusted checkout.
This allows any external attacker to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the GitHub Actions runner simply by submitting a malicious Pull Request. Also known as a "Pwn Request" vulnerability.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Fork the target repository.
- In the forked repository, modify a file that satisfies the
pathscondition (e.g.,src/dummy.phporcomposer.json) to trigger the workflow. - Modify the
bin/consolefile (which is executed in the workflow steps) with the following malicious payload:
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== PWNED ==="
echo "whoami:"
whoami
- Commit the changes and open a Pull Request against the
5.0ornextbranch of the base repository. - The
Static Testsworkflow will trigger automatically. Navigate to the Actions tab and inspect the logs for theValidate YAML(or any step executingbin/console). - You will see the output of
whoami(typicallyrunner), proving that the arbitrary code was successfully executed in the runner's context.
Impact:
Because pull_request_target runs in the context of the base repository, the runner has access to repository secrets (e.g., PIMCORE_SECRET, PIMCORE_PRODUCT_KEY) loa…

CVE-2026-41249 (coreshop/core-shop) — CWE-94 / CVSS v3 8.2
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Attack surface: pull_request_target / paths / next / whoami
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
Arbitrary code execution (CWE-94) exists in coreshop/core-shop. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via pull_request_target without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of coreshop/core-shop. Attack surface: pull_request_target / paths / next / whoami.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.2/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'coreshop/core-shop' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
