Security vulnerabilities and automated fixes for shell quote issues
1 post found
A critical command injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-9277) was discovered in the popular Node.js `shell-quote` package (versions prior to 1.8.4) where unescaped line terminators allowed attackers to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands. The fix upgrades `shell-quote` from version 1.8.1 to 1.8.4, which properly escapes line terminator characters (such as `\n`, `\r`, `\u2028`, and `\u2029`) before passing strings to the shell. This dependency was present in the project's `package-lock.json`
