From e1c91d294d4f7c63b9a657fb4b6abf83e860a911 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 02:33:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix: prevent API key exfiltration in dedupe workflow Security fix to address potential prompt injection attack vector where malicious issue content could exploit gh api/comment permissions to exfiltrate the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Changes: - Remove gh api:* and gh issue comment:* from dedupe command allowed-tools - Command now outputs structured JSON to /tmp/dedupe-result.json - Comment posting moved to isolated workflow step without API key access - Added URL validation to prevent injection in comment content The Claude Code step can now only read issues (gh issue view/search/list), while comment posting happens in a separate step that only has GITHUB_TOKEN. --- .claude/commands/dedupe.md | 49 ++++++++-------- .github/workflows/claude-dedupe-issues.yml | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 92 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/.claude/commands/dedupe.md b/.claude/commands/dedupe.md index 9cd83aa8..8e00ff44 100644 --- a/.claude/commands/dedupe.md +++ b/.claude/commands/dedupe.md @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ --- -allowed-tools: Bash(gh issue view:*), Bash(gh search:*), Bash(gh issue list:*), Bash(gh api:*), Bash(gh issue comment:*) +allowed-tools: Bash(gh issue view:*), Bash(gh search:*), Bash(gh issue list:*) description: Find duplicate GitHub issues --- @@ -7,32 +7,33 @@ Find up to 3 likely duplicate issues for a given GitHub issue.
