Technical summary
The @e2e-dev/github package before version 0.4.1 contains an improper authorization vulnerability that allows pull request commenters to hijack CI test reports by posting comments with a predictable marker. This vulnerability is caused by the lack of author checks in findComment and upsertComment in post.ts, allowing attackers to receive results in their own comment and edit failures to passes, or suppress genuine reports entirely. Defenders should prioritize verifying the version in use and updating to version 0.4.1 or later to address the improper authorization vulnerability.
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying the version of @e2e-dev/github in use and updating to version 0.4.1 or later to address the improper authorization vulnerability.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify the version of @e2e-dev/github in use and update to version 0.4.1 or later.
