Summary
Konflux-ci has a jq filter injection flaw in its GitHub workflow issue management, tracked as CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code). An attacker who can trigger automated workflow runs submits a crafted issue title, which a workflow script places into data queries without sanitization. The injected filter can return API credentials, deployment keys and internal notes from repository queries, and these may appear in workflow logs. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.8 (HIGH).

Description from the CNA
A flaw was found in konflux-ci. An attacker with permission to trigger automated workflow runs can cause an information disclosure by providing crafted issue titles to workflow scripts. The affected script incorporates user-provided titles directly into data queries without adequate sanitization, allowing the attacker to inject malicious filter commands. As a result, sensitive information such as API credentials, deployment keys, and internal notes returned from repository queries may be exposed in workflow logs.
