WPGraphQL (wp-graphql/wp-graphql) prior to 2.9.1 contains an OS command injection flaw in its GitHub Actions workflow release.yml. The workflow directly interpolates the untrusted value ${{ github.event.pull_request.body }} into a run: shell block. When a pull request from develop to master is merged, the pull request body is injected verbatim into a shell command, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the GitHub Actions runner in the context of that workflow run. Version 2.9.1 fixes the issue.

run: blocks. If such data must be used, ensure robust quoting/escaping and prefer passing data via environment variables or files with safe handling. Additionally, restrict workflow permissions and secrets exposure for PR-triggered or merge-triggered workflows to minimize blast radius if command execution occurs.Patch, then assume compromise.
