CVE-2026-35580: Emissary has GitHub Actions Shell Injection via Workflow Inputs

April 8, 2026

Three GitHub Actions workflow files contained 10 shell injection points where user-controlled workflow_dispatch inputs were interpolated directly into shell commands via ${{ }} expression syntax. An attacker with repository write access could inject arbitrary shell commands, leading to repository poisoning and supply chain compromise affecting all downstream users.
