Issue description
This request comes after a Dependabot notified me to bump actions/download-artifact from v3 to v4.1.7:
Versions of actions/download-artifact before 4.1.7 are vulnerable to arbitrary file write when downloading and extracting a specifically crafted artifact that contains path traversal filenames.
Example
As per recommendation, I updated my GitHub Actions workflow file:
name: Build and Deploy HydePHP Site to Deployment Branch
on:
push:
branches:
- master
jobs:
build-and-deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Build HydePHP Site
uses: hydephp/action@master
with:
upload-artifact: true
- name: Download artifact
uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
with:
name: build
path: build
- name: Deploy to deployment branch
run: |
git config --global user.name 'GitHub Action'
git config --global user.email 'action@github.com'
git checkout --orphan deployment
git rm -rf .
mv build/* .
git add .
git commit -m "Deploy to deployment branch"
git push -f origin deployment
What happened
This will cause the Download artifact stage to fail.
Downloading single artifact
Error: Unable to download artifact(s): Artifact not found for name: build
Please ensure that your artifact is not expired and the artifact was uploaded using a compatible version of toolkit/upload-artifact.
For more information, visit the GitHub Artifacts FAQ: https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/main/packages/artifact/docs/faq.md
Upon inspection of which actions/upload-artifact version is used by this action, I discovered it's using v3 (reference).
Proposed solution
If possible, update all actions that deal with uploading/downloading artifacts to use v4.
