CVE-2026-12567 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 2.2/10 on the CVSS scale. The github_workflows module constructs local directory paths from user-controlled repository names without validating for symlinks. A local attacker sharing the scan directory can plant a symlink at the predictable output path, causing workflow data to be written to an attacker-chosen location.. EPSS estimates a 0.09% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
