Description
Woodpecker is a CI/CD engine. Starting in version 3.0.0 and prior to version 3.14.1, a vulnerability in Woodpecker CI's gRPC layer allowed any authenticated agent to impersonate any other agent on the same server by injecting a forged agent_id value into outgoing gRPC metadata. The server correctly verified the JWT token but then discarded the verified agent identity in favor of the client-supplied value. Version 3.14.1 patches the issue. As a workaround, disable org agents (WOODPECKER_DISABLE_USER_AGENT_REGISTRATION=true) and delete existing ones.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for go.woodpecker-ci.org/woodpecker/v3, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update go.woodpecker-ci.org/woodpecker/v3 to 3.14.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-50141 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
