🛡️ Sentinel: [MEDIUM] Fix command injection risks by replacing execSync#260
Conversation
…nc with execFileSync This commit removes all remaining instances of `execSync` across the codebase and replaces them with `execFileSync`. By passing arguments as an explicit array, `execFileSync` bypasses shell evaluation entirely, completely eliminating the risk of shell command injection from user-controlled inputs. Additionally, shell pipe and redirect logic was successfully ported to native Node.js solutions to ensure safety.

🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
💡 Vulnerability: Command injection risk through
execSync. The application frequently passed string inputs and environment variables intoexecSync, which evaluated the inputs inside a shell, allowing for potential metacharacter interpolation (e.g.;,&&,|) to execute arbitrary code.🎯 Impact: Attackers could potentially execute arbitrary shell commands on the host machine with the privileges of the Node.js process by feeding malformed inputs through configuration files or file paths.
🔧 Fix: Removed all instances of
execSyncand replaced them withexecFileSync. Arguments are now passed directly to the binary as an array instead of being shell-interpolated. Translated| wc -lloops and2>/dev/nullerror suppression to native JS andstdioconfigurations.✅ Verification: Ran the test suite (
node --test tests/*.test.mjs) to ensure there are no regressions.PR created automatically by Jules for task 13982656299548010003 started by @raccioly
