What is CVE-2025-59844?

A command injection vulnerability has been identified in the SonarQube GitHub Action, affecting versions 4.0.0 up to 5.x. This flaw allows attackers to manipulate user-controlled input directed to the args parameter within Windows runners, leading to potential arbitrary command execution. Such exploitation could expose sensitive environment variables, compromising the integrity of the runner environment. This issue arose due to insufficient validation mechanisms. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to version 6.0.0 or later, which addresses this vulnerability effectively.
