Exploit Automated Artifact Processing Pipeline

Adversaries may submit, publish, or modify an artifact in a way that triggers an automated processing pipeline. As the pipeline handles the artifact, adversary-controlled content or configuration may exploit a weakness in the processing logic, causing the processor to act outside its intended behavior using the permissions and access of a processing worker.

Exploitation may cause the worker to access local or internal resources and expose information through normal processing output or evaluate adversary-controlled content and execute code. The attack is triggered by automated backend processing and does not require a victim to open, load, or approve the artifact.
