CVE-2026-22869
Eigent Allows Arbitrary Code Execution via pull_request_target CI Workflow
Description

Eigent is a multi-agent Workforce. A critical security vulnerability in the CI workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml) allows arbitrary code execution from fork pull requests with repository write permissions. The vulnerable workflow uses pull_request_target trigger combined with checkout of untrusted PR code. An attacker can exploit this to steal credentials, post comments, push code, or create releases.

Solution
Prevent arbitrary code execution from fork pull requests by adjusting CI workflow triggers.
  • Avoid pull_request_target trigger for forks.
  • Use pull_request trigger for forks.
  • Restrict checkout of untrusted PR code.
  • Scan for malicious code before execution.
