https://github.com/cloudflare/pages-action: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-11325 is a high-severity improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command vulnerability in https://github.com/cloudflare/pages-action from Cloudflare, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. Affected https://github.com/cloudflare/pages-action versions: 0. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.68% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 53% of scored CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Check which version of https://github.com/cloudflare/pages-action you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
  3. Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

Official description

Description Cloudflare was recently notified by external researchers of vulnerabilities in this archived repository, including a remote code execution issue in `src/index.ts` reachable from certain GitHub Actions workflow configurations. Successful exploitation may expose workflow secrets such as CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN and GITHUB_TOKEN to an attacker. Because this repository has been deprecated since 2024, Cloudflare will not be issuing patches. To remediate this issue, we recommend migrating to `cloudflare/wrangler-action` immediately. Consumers who have already migrated are not affected. Sunset Date The cloudflare/pages-action repository will be removed on 2026-09-18. Consumers must complete migration before 18th September to avoid CI disruption. Affected Versions All published versions of cloudflare/pages-action, including consumers pinned to the v1 moving tag. Patched Versions None. This repository will not receive further updates, including security patches. Resolution / Migration Path Migrate all workflows using cloudflare/pages-action to `cloudflare/wrangler-action` before 2026-09-18. Refer to the wrangler-action README for the equivalent step configuration and migration guidance.

The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command

The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command before it is sent to a downstream component.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • If at all possible, use library calls rather than external processes to recreate the desired functionality.
  • For any data that will be used to generate a command to be executed, keep as much of that data out of external control as possible. For example, in web applications, this may require storing the data locally in the session's state instead of sending it out to the client in a hidden form field.
  • For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.
