CVE-2026-47751

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Claude Code Action is a general-purpose GitHub action that runs Claude Code on GitHub pull requests and issues. Prior to 1.0.74, because the action checked out attacker-controlled pull request head branches, read .mcp.json from the working directory via default setting sources, and unconditionally enabled all project MCP servers via enableAllProjectMcpServers, an attacker who opened a pull request containing a malicious .mcp.json file could achieve arbitrary code execution on the GitHub Actions runner and exfiltrate secrets available to the workflow (such as API keys and tokens) when a privileged user or an automatic trigger invoked the Claude action on the pull request. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.74, which restores .claude/ and .mcp.json from the pull request base branch before the CLI runs.

      "value": "Claude Code Action es una acción de GitHub de propósito general que ejecuta Claude Code en solicitudes de extracción y problemas de GitHub. Antes de la versión 1.0.74, debido a que la acción extraía ramas de cabecera de solicitudes de extracción controladas por el atacante, leía .mcp.json del directorio de trabajo a través de fuentes de configuración predeterminadas y habilitaba incondicionalmente todos los servidores MCP del proyecto a través de enableAllProjectMcpServers, un atacante que abriera una solicitud de extracción que contuviera un archivo .mcp.json malicioso podría lograr la ejecución de código arbitrario en el ejecutor de GitHub Actions y exfiltrar secretos disponibles para el flujo de trabajo (como claves API y tokens) cuando un usuario privilegiado o un disparador automático invocaba la acción de Claude en la solicitud de extracción. Este problema se soluciona en la versión 1.0.74, que restaura .claude/ y .mcp.json de la rama base de la solicitud de extracción antes de que se ejecute la CLI."
