Summary
A weakness has been identified in bahmutov find-cypress-specs up to 1.54.12. The impacted element is the function shell.exec of the file src/index.js of the component Branch Handler.
This manipulation of the argument --branch causes os command injection. The attack is restricted to local execution.
The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
A local attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the Branch Handler component by manipulating the '--branch' argument. This manipulation leads to an operating system (OS) command injection, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
This could result in unauthorized access, modification, or disruption of data and system resources. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).
