Who should care

Users of Shamefile versions prior to 0.1.7 should upgrade to the latest version to prevent potential path traversal attacks. This includes operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams who use Shamefile for linter warnings.

Technical summary

A path traversal vulnerability in `shame next` allows an attacker-controlled `shamefile.yaml` to disclose contents of files outside the repository, one line at a time, to the terminal of a user who runs the command. The issue is fixed in version 0.1.7. Upgrade to either 0.1.7 or later versions to incorporate the patch. As a workaround, do not run `shame next` against untrusted `shamefile.yaml`. Use `shame me --dry-run` for CI validation.

Defensive priority

Medium priority due to the potential for information disclosure.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Upgrade to Shamefile version 0.1.7 or later
  • Do not run `shame next` against untrusted `shamefile.yaml`
  • Use `shame me --dry-run` for CI validation
  • Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
  • Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
  • Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
  • Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
