description

The cdxgen HTTP server in affected @cdxgen/cdxgen and @cyclonedx/cdxgen releases can let an unauthenticated client bypass repository host restrictions and enable dependency or deep scans. A reachable server may clone attacker-controlled repositories and run project build scripts as its service account when relevant build tools are permitted.

Still under analysis: more detail becomes available as the pipeline runs.

mitigation

Upgrade @cdxgen/cdxgen to 13.5.0 or later, or @cyclonedx/cdxgen to 12.8.7 or later. Until upgraded, restrict server access to trusted callers, filter scan-control request parameters at a reverse proxy, and remove unnecessary build tools from CDXGEN_ALLOWED_COMMANDS.

fixed in 13.5.0, 12.8.7
