Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Atlantis versions from 0.4.0 before 0.47.1 are vulnerable to OS command injection. A contributor whose pull request can trigger an Atlantis plan can put shell metacharacters in the Terraform workspace name in atlantis.yaml, which runs arbitrary commands as the Atlantis service account without custom workflows or apply permission. Upgrade to Atlantis 0.47.1 or later. The source lists no other workaround.
