{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-47928","details":"Spotipy is a Python library for the Spotify Web API. As of commit 4f5759dbfb4506c7b6280572a4db1aabc1ac778d, using `pull_request_target` on `.github/workflows/integration_tests.yml` followed by the checking out the head.sha of a forked PR can be exploited by attackers, since untrusted code can be executed having full access to secrets (from the base repo). By exploiting the vulnerability is possible to exfiltrate `GITHUB_TOKEN` and secrets `SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID`,  `SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET`. In particular `GITHUB_TOKEN` which can be used to completely overtake the repo since the token has content write privileges. The `pull_request_target` in GitHub Actions is a major security concern—especially in public repositories—because it executes untrusted code from a PR, but with the context of the base repository, including access to its secrets. Commit 9dfb7177b8d7bb98a5a6014f8e6436812a47576f reverted the change that caused the issue.","modified":"2026-05-20T16:23:30.924952117Z","published":"2025-05-15T20:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-47928"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-47928"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-47928"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/commit/4f5759dbfb4506c7b6280572a4db1aabc1ac778d"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/commit/9dfb7177b8d7bb98a5a6014f8e6436812a47576f"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/security/advisories/GHSA-h25v-8c87-rvm8"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"spotipy","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/spotipy?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.25.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python3-spotipy","binary_version":"2.25.1-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-47928.json"}},{"package":{"name":"spotipy","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/spotipy?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.25.1-1","2.25.2-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python3-spotipy","binary_version":"2.25.2-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-47928.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
