| Title | Node.js oclif 4.23.16 OS Command Injection |
|---|
| Description | oclif manifest reads oclif.jitPlugins from a target project's package.json. When JIT plugins are enabled, each plugin name and version is interpolated into an npm pack shell command:
npm pack ${plugin}@${version} --pack-destination "${tarballStoragePath}" --json
That command string is then executed with child_process.exec().
Because the jitPlugins key and value are not shell-escaped or validated before interpolation, shell metacharacters in a plugin name can execute arbitrary commands when oclif manifest is run against a crafted project.
This is reachable through the public CLI:
oclif manifest /path/to/project |
