Arbitrary command execution via unsanitized function input
Published Dec 15, 2022 · Updated Apr 17, 2025
Command injection in cycle-import-check before 1.3.2 allows local users to execute arbitrary OS commands through a crafted function argument. The writeFileToTmpDirAndOpenIt function incorporates its first argument into a shell command without neutralizing command separators. Exploitation requires the exported function to receive attacker-controlled data, and commands run with the Node.js process privileges.
