Summary

Vulnerability in github.com/openshift-pipelines/pipelines-as-code (CVE-2026-54167). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via installation.id. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.37.8 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Impact

Pipelines-as-Code installations using the GitHub App provider are vulnerable to GitHub App credential exfiltration through the webhook endpoint.

Affected versions accepted the X-GitHub-Enterprise-Host request header as the GitHub Enterprise API host during GitHub App token generation. For GitHub webhook events containing an installation.id, Pipelines-as-Code generated a GitHub App JWT and requested an installation access token before validating the webhook signature or checking that the Enterprise host matched the repository URL in the signed payload.

An attacker who can reach the Pipelines-as-Code webhook endpoint can send a crafted GitHub webhook payload containing an installation ID and set X-GitHub-Enterprise-Host to an attacker-controlled host. During token generation, the controller signs a GitHub App JWT locally and sends it to the selected API host. This can disclose the GitHub App JWT to the attacker-controlled service, allowing the attacker to attempt to mint GitHub App installation access tokens within the JWT validity window, subject to the GitHub App installation and permissions.

The incoming webhook flow also trusted X-GitHub-Enterprise-Host during GitHub App installation lookup and token generation. In that path, exploitation requires a valid incoming webhook secret for the target Repository CR.

Patches

The fix validates the webhook signature before GitHub App token generation, verifies that X-GitHub-Enterprise-Host matches the repo…

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'github.com/openshift-pipelines/pipelines-as-code' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'github.com/openshift-pipelines/pipelines-as-code' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で github.com/openshift-pipelines/pipelines-as-code を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade github.com/openshift-pipelines/pipelines-as-code to 0.37.8

    ステージング環境で 0.37.8 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
