Remote Code Execution in OpenOps Terraform Block Before

Executive Summary

CVE-2025-68922 is a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Terraform block of the openops-cloud/openops project before version 0.6.11. It arises from insufficient validation and escaping of user inputs within Terraform resource configurations, allowing potential shell injection attacks. The vulnerability was fixed by implementing strict input validation for user-controlled identifiers, escaping shell arguments to prevent arbitrary command injection, enhancing resource parsing, and adding comprehensive tests to prevent regression.
