Submit #861028: Node.js serverless-localstack 1.4.0 OS Command Injectioninfo

TitleNode.js serverless-localstack 1.4.0 OS Command Injection
Descriptionserverless-localstack passes the custom.localstack.docker.compose_file configuration value directly into a shell command when autostart is enabled and the plugin starts LocalStack through Docker Compose. The README documents docker.compose_file as an optional Docker Compose file path: custom: localstack: autostart: true docker: compose_file: /home/localstack_compose.yml However, in src/index.js, the value is interpolated into a command string: exec(`docker-compose -f ${this.config.docker.compose_file} up -d`) Because the value is not escaped or passed as an argument array, shell metacharacters in the compose file path can execute additional commands.
