Title
CommandKit exposes incorrect command name in context object for message command aliases
Summary
CommandKit is the discord.js meta-framework for building Discord bots. In versions 1.2.0-rc.1 through 1.2.0-rc.11, a logic flaw exists in the message command handler that affects how the commandName property is exposed to both middleware functions and command execution contexts when handling command aliases. When a message command is invoked using an alias, the ctx.commandName value reflects the alias rather than the canonical command name. This occurs in both middleware functions and within the command's own run function. Although not explicitly documented, CommandKit's examples and guidance around middleware usage implicitly convey that ctx.commandName represents the canonical command identifier. Middleware examples in the documentation consistently use ctx.commandName to reference the command being executed. Developers who assume ctx.commandName is canonical may introduce unintended behavior when relying on it for logic such as permission checks, rate limiting, or audit logging. This could allow unauthorized command execution or inaccurate access control decisions. Slash commands and context menu commands are not affected. This issue has been patched in version 1.2.0-rc.12, where ctx.commandName now consistently returns the actual canonical command name regardless of the alias used to invoke it.

Cuando un comando de mensaje es invocado usando un alias, el valor ctx.commandName refleja el alias en lugar del nombre can\u00f3nico del comando. Esto ocurre tanto en las funciones middleware como dentro de la propia funci\u00f3n run del comando. Aunque no est\u00e1 expl\u00edcitamente documentado, los ejemplos y la gu\u00eda de CommandKit sobre el uso de middleware transmiten impl\u00edcitamente que ctx.commandName representa el identificador can\u00f3nico del comando. Los ejemplos de middleware en la documentaci\u00f3n usan consistentemente ctx.commandName para referenciar el comando que se est\u00e1 ejecutando. Los desarrolladores que asumen que ctx.commandName es can\u00f3nico pueden introducir un comportamiento no deseado al depender de \u00e9l para l\u00f3gica como verificaciones de permisos, limitaci\u00f3n de velocidad o registro de auditor\u00eda. Esto podr\u00eda permitir la ejecuci\u00f3n no autorizada de comandos o decisiones imprecisas de control de acceso. Los comandos de barra y los comandos de men\u00fa contextual no se ven afectados. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versi\u00f3n 1.2.0-rc.12, donde ctx.commandName ahora devuelve consistentemente el nombre can\u00f3nico real del comando, independientemente del alias utilizado para invocarlo."
