CVE-2022-22984Network attack vector

Command injection via crafted CLI flags

Published Nov 30, 2022 · Updated Apr 25, 2025

Command injection in Snyk CLI and plugins before their fixed versions allows remote authenticated users to run arbitrary commands via crafted CLI flags. The snyk test command passes attacker-controlled arguments from untrusted files into command execution without complete neutralization, allowing shell commands to run on the host. Exploitation requires a user or CI pipeline to invoke snyk test on attacker-controlled input; impact is limited to the privileges of that host process.
