CVE-2026-55563
8.9feast-dev · feast
An authorization flaw in Feast CI workflows allows attackers to execute arbitrary code and steal cloud credentials by manipulating pull request labels and triggering privileged make targets.
Executive summary
A critical authorization vulnerability in the Feast feature store allows authenticated contributors to achieve remote code execution and credential theft through insecure GitHub Action workflows.
Vulnerability
The vulnerability resides in the pr_integration_tests.yml workflow, which incorrectly preserves approval labels across commit synchronizations. This allows a user with low privileges to gain elevated execution rights by modifying code after an initial benign approval.
Business impact
The exploitation of this flaw can lead to a complete compromise of the CI environment, resulting in the theft of sensitive GCP, AWS, and Snowflake credentials. Given the CVSS score of 8.9, this represents a high risk of unauthorized access to downstream cloud infrastructure, potentially leading to data breaches and significant operational disruption.
Remediation
Immediate Action: Update the Feast feature store to version 0.65.0 or later to apply the corrected workflow configurations.
Proactive Monitoring: Audit CI/CD logs for unexpected execution of make targets or unauthorized access attempts against cloud service providers using credentials associated with the build environment.
Compensating Controls: Implement strict branch protection rules and require manual approval for workflows triggered by external pull requests to prevent the automatic execution of untrusted code.
Exploitation status
Public Exploit Available: No (Exploit_available: false)
Analyst recommendation
Organizations utilizing Feast must prioritize the upgrade to version 0.65.0 immediately to eliminate the insecure workflow logic. Because this vulnerability facilitates the compromise of cloud-native credentials, failure to patch leaves the entire connected infrastructure ecosystem exposed to potential lateral movement and long-term persistence by malicious actors.
