GHSA-46G3-37RH-V698
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-17 18:38 – Updated: 2026-03-20 21:21Summary
A vulnerability exists in the Community Tier of Harden-Runner that allows bypassing the egress-policy: block network restriction using DNS over HTTPS (DoH).
Harden-Runner secures GitHub Actions workflows on runners by applying network policies, including an allowed-endpoints configuration that limits outbound traffic to specified domains and ports (e.g., github.com:443). In egress-policy: block mode, non-compliant connections are intercepted and denied.
This vulnerability exploits DoH, a protocol that encapsulates DNS queries within HTTPS requests. By crafting a DNS query that embeds exfiltrated data as a subdomain (e.g., encoding the runner's hostname into a label), an attacker can route the request through a permitted HTTPS endpoint like dns.google (8.8.8.8's DoH service). The resolver processes the query and forwards it to the attacker's controlled domain, achieving exfiltration without directly accessing the blocked destination. This evades Harden-Runner's domain-based filtering, as the initial HTTPS connection appears legitimate.
This vulnerability requires the attacker to already have code execution capabilities within the GitHub Actions workflow.
The Enterprise Tier of Harden-Runner is not affected by this vulnerability.
Impact
When Harden-Runner is configured with egress-policy: block and a restrictive allowed-endpoints list, an attacker with existing code execution capabilities within a GitHub Actions workflow can bypass the allowed domains check via DNS over HTTPS by proxying DNS queries through a permitted resolver (e.g., Google's DoH service). This allows data exfiltration even when allowed-endpoints is set to only whitelisted domains.
This vulnerability affects only the Community Tier. It requires the attacker to already have code execution capabilities within the GitHub Actions workflow.
Remediation
For Community Tier Users
Upgrade to Harden-Runner v2.16.0 or later.
For Enterprise Tier Users
No action required. Enterprise tier customers are not affected by this vulnerability.
Credit
We would like to thank Devansh Batham for responsibly disclosing this vulnerability through our security reporting process.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
