A time-of-check-time-of-use race condition vulnerability in Buildkite Elastic CI for AWS versions prior to 6.7.1 and 5.22.5 allows the buildkite-agent user to bypass a symbolic link check for the PIPELINE_PATH variable in the fix-buildkite-agent-builds-permissions script.

Weakness

The product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource’s state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check. This can cause the product to perform invalid actions when the resource is in an unexpected state.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Elastic_ci_stack Buildkite * 5.22.5 (excluding)
