CVE-2026-47174
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIn Duck Site before version 1.0.1, the repository has a deploy workflow that runs after the build workflow completes. The build workflow runs on pull requests, while the deploy workflow runs with package-write permissions and deployment secrets. If an attacker can make a pull request build satisfy the deploy workflow’s main branch condition, the deploy job checks out the triggering workflow commit, builds it into a Docker image, pushes it as latest, and triggers Dokploy deployment. This can allow attacker-controlled pull request code to become the deployed production site image without being merged. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.1.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline vulnerability in Duck Site allows an attacker to trigger the deploy workflow from an unmerged pull request by satisfying the main branch condition. The deploy job then checks out the PR commit, builds it into a Docker image, pushes as latest, and triggers production deployment using elevated package-write permissions and deployment secrets—allowing malicious code to become the production image without merging.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate the deploy workflow fileInspect the repository for GitHub Actions workflows in .github/workflows/ and identify the workflow responsible for production deploymentAffected if A deploy workflow exists that handles production deployments
-
Examine workflow trigger conditionsReview the 'on' section of the deploy workflow to see which events trigger it (e.g., push, pull_request, workflow_dispatch)Affected if The workflow triggers on pull_request events or has conditions that can be satisfied by unmerged PRs
-
Verify checkout behaviorCheck if the workflow uses actions/checkout to fetch code and inspect the ref/branch inputs - determine whether it checks out the PR branch instead of the main branchAffected if The workflow checks out PR commits rather than only main branch commits
-
Identify Docker build/push from checked-out codeLook for Docker build and push steps (e.g., docker build, docker push) that operate on the code checked out by the workflowAffected if Docker images are built and pushed from the checked-out (potentially PR) code as the 'latest' tag
-
Confirm deployment triggers from workflowExamine whether the workflow triggers production deployment or uses elevated permissions (package-write, deployment secrets) after building the imageAffected if The workflow uses elevated permissions or secrets to deploy the built image to production
A user is affected if their deploy workflow can be triggered by an unmerged pull request and proceeds to build/push that PR code to production using elevated permissions.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to version 1.0.1 which patches the workflow logic. Additionally, configure the deploy workflow to only trigger on actual main branch commits (not PRs) and verify the commit source before deployment.
version 1.0.1
- Verify current version of Duck Site is earlier than 1.0.1 by checking package.json, git tags, or release notes
- Upgrade to version 1.0.1 or later which contains the patched workflow
- After upgrading, audit the GitHub Actions workflows to confirm the deploy workflow now properly validates the source branch/commit before deployment
- Ensure the deploy workflow requires explicit approval or checks for mergeability before deploying
- Review workflow run history to confirm no unauthorized deployments occurred prior to the patch
