CVE-2026-34042: act: actions/cache server allows malicious cache injection

March 27, 2026 (updated March 31, 2026)

act’s built-in actions/cache server listens to connections on all interfaces and allows anyone who can connect to it — including someone anywhere on the internet — to create caches with arbitrary keys and retrieve all existing caches. If one can predict which cache keys will be used by local actions, one can create malicious caches containing whatever files one pleases, most likely allowing arbitrary remote code execution within the Docker container.
