CVE-2026-73294: Semaphore U: OS Command Injection
An OS command injection in repository git_url handling lets any user holding the Manager or Owner role on any project (the normal project-collaborator roles) achieve remote code execution on the Semaphore server host. Using git’s –upload-pack= option, an attacker runs arbitrary commands. The command executes inside the main Semaphore server process (via the schedule commit-hash poller), so it runs even when jobs are configured for remote runners — bypassing runner isolation and exposing the master encryption key and every project’s secrets. Reproducible on a default install (git_client: cmd_git); no non-default configuration is required.
