Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Black Lantern Security BBOT up to 2.8.6. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects an unknown function of the component github_workflows. The manipulation of the argument CODE_REPOSITORY with an unknown input leads to a behavioral workflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-841. The product supports a session in which more than one behavior must be performed by an actor, but it does not properly ensure that the actor performs the behaviors in the required sequence. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

BBOT's `github_workflows` module could be induced to write a downloaded artifact outside its configured output directory: its path-containment check did not resolve `..`, so a crafted `CODE_REPOSITORY` URL could traverse out of the intended folder. The write is bounded to two directory levels above the output location and its target is determined by the operator's configuration, not the attacker.

The advisory is shared at github.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2026-14967 since 07/07/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 07/08/2026).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
