Code execution via forgeable Forestry migration marker
Published Jul 1, 2026 · Updated Jul 1, 2026
Code injection in TinaCMS @tinacms/cli before 2.4.3 allows attackers to execute JavaScript via a crafted Forestry project. The Forestry migrator passes user-controlled YAML label and name fields through JSON.stringify, then addVariablesToCode unquotes a forgeable TINA_INTERNAL marker into generated module-level source. Execution requires a developer to migrate the project and run tinacms dev or tinacms build, after which the payload runs with that developer's privileges.
