Summary

Command Injection Vulnerability in find-exec

Details

Older versions of the package are vulnerable to Command Injection as an attacker controlled parameter. As a result, attackers may run malicious commands.

For example:

const find = require("find-exec");
find("mplayer; touch hacked")

This creates a file named "hacked" on the filesystem.

You should never allow users to control commands to find, since this package attempts to run every command provided.

Thanks to @miguelafmonteiro for reporting.

Severity

9.8 (Critical)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-08-30 17:39 – Updated: 2024-10-01 18:13

Title

Command Injection Vulnerability in find-exec

Summary

find-exec is a utility to discover available shell commands. Versions prior to 1.0.3 did not properly escape user input and are vulnerable to Command Injection via an attacker controlled parameter. As a result, attackers may run malicious shell commands in the context of the running process. This issue has been addressed in version 1.0.3. users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should ensure that all input passed to find-exec comes from a trusted source.

Severity

9.8 (Critical)
