Terragrunt: Arbitrary File Deletion via Malicious Module Manifest

Collected exploitation and prediction evidence

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

Terragrunt is a flexible orchestration tool that allows Infrastructure as Code written in OpenTofu or Terraform to scale. Prior to 1.0.4, Terragrunt trusts paths decoded from a downloaded module's .terragrunt-module-manifest during fileManifest.Clean() in internal/util/file.go. A malicious or compromised external module can place absolute or traversal paths in the manifest, causing cleanup to delete files outside the module cache that are accessible to the Terragrunt process before OpenTofu or Terraform executes. This deletion-only primitive can remove local source code or configuration and disrupt CI/CD pipelines. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.4.

### Summary Terragrunt is vulnerable to an arbitrary file deletion flaw when downloading external modules. If a remote module contains a maliciously crafted `.terragrunt-module-manifest` file, Terragrunt can be tricked into deleting files anywhere on the local filesystem that the Terragrunt process has access to. ### Impact This vulnerability impacts users who download and run untrusted or compromised OpenTofu/Terraform modules. The file deletion occurs during the module download and initialization phase, meaning it happens before OpenTofu or Terraform executes. In a CI/CD environment or automated runner, an attacker-controlled module could delete arbitrary files, causing denial of service in the deployment pipeline. In a local environment, it could lead to the loss of local source code or configuration files. This vulnerability is a deletion-only primitive; it does not directly allow for arbitrary code execution (RCE) or data exfiltration. ### Affected Versions - Terragrunt < `v1.0.4` ### Patches This vulnerability has been resolved in Terragrunt version `v1.0.4`. All users are strongly advised to upgrade. ### Workarounds If users cannot upgrade immediately, they can mitigate this risk by: 1. Strictly auditing the source URLs of all remote modules used in their Terragrunt configurations. 2. Only consuming modules from trusted, internally vetted sources or verified registries. 3. Pinning module versions to specific, known-safe Git commit SHAs rather than mutable tags or branches. ### Technical Details Terragrunt tracks files copied into a downloaded module's working directory using a `.terragrunt-module-manifest` file. During the directory cleanup process, Terragrunt decodes the entries in this manifest and removes the listed files to prepare a fresh directory for OpenTofu/Terraform runs. Previously, Terragrunt trusted the manifest provided by the downloaded module without verifying that the paths scheduled for deletion remained within the boundaries of the module's destination directory. An attacker could forge a manifest containing directory traversal paths, causing the cleanup function to target files outside the cache. The patch introduces a secure boundary check to ensure all cleaned paths remain safely isolated inside the intended manifest folder. ## Credit Terragrunt would like to thank Francesco Sabiu ([@fsabiu](https://github.com/fsabiu)) for discovering and responsibly disclosing this vulnerability.
