Published · Modified
Description
Summary
Host execution env sanitization did not block GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR or AWS_CONFIG_FILE, even though both can redirect trusted tooling to attacker-controlled content.
Impact
An approved exec request could redirect git or AWS CLI behavior through attacker-controlled configuration and execute untrusted code or load attacker-selected credentials.
