Summary
ciguard is a static security auditor for CI/CD pipelines. From 0.8.0 to 0.8.1, the discover_pipeline_files() function in src/ciguard/discovery.py walks a directory tree following symlinks, with cycle protection via tracking visited resolved paths. An attacker who can plant a symlink in a scanned directory can cause discovery to walk into the symlink target and return paths to pipeline-shaped files outside the requested root. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.2.
Risk Assessment
Scanning may reveal paths to pipeline files outside the intended root, potentially leaking system structure information or causing unexpected file processing.
Recommendation
Upgrade ciguard to version 0.8.2 or later.

ciguard, a static security auditor for CI/CD pipelines, in versions 0.6.0 through 0.8.1 calls json.loads on HTTP responses without a maximum-bytes cap. A hostile or compromised endoflife.date/OSV.dev server (or a successful MITM) could return a multi-GB response, exhausting the ciguard process's memory.
