CVE-2022-24725 – Exposure of home directory through shescape on Unix with Bash

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2022-24725

Shescape is a shell escape package for JavaScript. An issue in versions 1.4.0 to 1.5.1 allows for exposure of the home directory on Unix systems when using Bash with the `escape` or `escapeAll` functions from the _shescape_ API with the `interpolation` option set to `true`. Other tested shells, Dash and Zsh, are not affected. Depending on how the output of _shescape_ is used, directory traversal may be possible in the application using _shescape_. The issue was patched in version 1.5.1. • https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/issues/169 https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/pull/170 https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/security/advisories/GHSA-446w-rrm4-r47f • CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor •
