Title
Network-AI has an an OS Command Injection issue
Summary
Network-AI is a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator. Prior to version 5.9.1, the agent sandbox gates shell commands behind an allowlist (`SandboxPolicy.isCommandAllowed`), which THREAT_MODEL.md calls the main control against a compromised agent (Adversary 3.2). The allowlist glob-matches the whole command string, but `ShellExecutor` runs that string through `/bin/sh -c`. So any wildcard allow such as `git *`, `npm *` or `node *` also matches `git status; <anything>`, and a scoped command becomes arbitrary execution. The issue is fixed in v5.9.1. `ShellExecutor` now executes via `spawn(file, args, { shell: false })` using a quote-aware parsed argv, so no shell is invoked. `SandboxPolicy.isCommandAllowed` and the new `SandboxPolicy.tokenizeCommand` reject any unquoted shell metacharacter (`; & | $ ` ` ` ( ) < > { }` newline) or unterminated quote before the allowlist glob match; quoted metacharacters are preserved as literal argument data. Users should upgrade to `network-ai@5.9.1` or later. As defense in depth, avoid broad wildcard allowlist entries such as `node *` / `npm *` which are direct code execution by design.

Antes de la versi\u00f3n 5.9.1, el sandbox del agente restringe los comandos de shell mediante una lista de permitidos (\u2019SandboxPolicy.isCommandAllowed\u2019), que THREAT_MODEL.md denomina el control principal contra un agente comprometido (Adversary 3.2). La lista de permitidos realiza una coincidencia de patrones globales con toda la cadena de comandos, pero \u2019ShellExecutor\u2019 ejecuta esa cadena a trav\u00e9s de \u2019/bin/sh -c\u2019. As\u00ed, cualquier permiso con comod\u00edn como \u2019git *\u2019, \u2019npm *\u2019 o \u2019node *\u2019 tambi\u00e9n coincide con \u2019git status; [anything]\u2019, y un comando con \u00e1mbito se convierte en ejecuci\u00f3n arbitraria. El problema est\u00e1 solucionado en la v5.9.1. \u2019ShellExecutor\u2019 ahora ejecuta a trav\u00e9s de \u2019spawn(file, args, { shell: false })\u2019 utilizando un argv analizado que tiene en cuenta las comillas, por lo que no se invoca ning\u00fan shell. \u2019SandboxPolicy.isCommandAllowed\u2019 y el nuevo \u2019SandboxPolicy.tokenizeCommand\u2019 rechazan cualquier metacaracter de shell sin comillas (\u2019;\u2019, \u2019\u0026\u2019, \u2019|\u2019, \u2019$\u2019, \u2019\u201d\u2019, \u2019(\u2019, \u2019)\u2019, \u2019\u003c\u2019, \u2019\u003e\u2019, \u2019{\u2019, \u2019}\u2019, salto de l\u00ednea) o comilla sin cerrar antes de la coincidencia de patrones globales de la lista de permitidos; los metacaracteres entre comillas se conservan como datos de argumento literales. Los usuarios deber\u00edan actualizar a \u2019network-ai@5.9.1\u2019 o posterior. Como defensa en profundidad, evite entradas amplias con comodines en la lista de permitidos como \u2019node *\u2019 / \u2019npm *\u2019 que son ejecuci\u00f3n directa de c\u00f3digo por dise\u00f1o."

              "value": "Network-AI is a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator. Prior to version 5.9.1, the agent sandbox gates shell commands behind an allowlist (`SandboxPolicy.isCommandAllowed`), which THREAT_MODEL.md calls the main control against a compromised agent (Adversary 3.2). The allowlist glob-matches the whole command string, but `ShellExecutor` runs that string through `/bin/sh -c`. So any wildcard allow such as `git *`, `npm *` or `node *` also matches `git status; \u003canything\u003e`, and a scoped command becomes arbitrary execution. The issue is fixed in v5.9.1. `ShellExecutor` now executes via `spawn(file, args, { shell: false })` using a quote-aware parsed argv, so no shell is invoked. `SandboxPolicy.isCommandAllowed` and the new `SandboxPolicy.tokenizeCommand` reject any unquoted shell metacharacter (`; \u0026 | $ ` ` ` ( ) \u003c \u003e { }` newline) or unterminated quote before the allowlist glob match; quoted metacharacters are preserved as literal argument data. Users should upgrade to `network-ai@5.9.1` or later. As defense in depth, avoid broad wildcard allowlist entries such as `node *` / `npm *` which are direct code execution by design."
