CVE-2025-47928Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Repository takeover via untrusted pull request checkout

Published May 15, 2025 · Updated May 15, 2025

Command injection in Spotipy 4f5759dbfb4506c7b6280572a4db1aabc1ac778d allows remote attackers to steal CI secrets via a forked PR. The integration_tests workflow runs under pull_request_target, checks out fork-controlled code, and executes pip install with base-repository secrets available. A non-draft forked pull request is sufficient; successful execution exposes a content-write token that permits repository takeover.
