{"id":"GHSA-wcx4-wpfv-mc5c","summary":"jsii-diff: Command Injection via npm: package argument","details":"## Summary\n\njsii-diff is a command line tool to compare the API differences between two jsii assemblies, and report errors if there are backwards-incompatible changes to the API. An issue exists where specially formatted command line arguments can be used to execute shell commands via this tool.\n\n## Impact\njsii-diff supports downloading packages to compare directly from NPM, so that you can compare a proposed candidate version of your jsii package with an already-published version, by passing an argument that looks like `npm:\u003cpackage-specifier\u003e`. For example:\n\n```\njsii-diff npm:my-package@latest .\n```\n\nBy injecting a `;` into the `package-specifier` part of that command, jsii-diff can be tricked into running shell commands. For example:\n\n```\njsii-diff \"npm:lodash; touch /tmp/123\" .\n```\n\nThis allows anyone that can control the command-line arguments to jsii-diff to run arbitrary commands with the same permissions as the jsii-diff command itself.\n\n## Patches\nThis issue has been addressed in jsii-diff version 1.131.0. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.\n\n## Workarounds\nIf you are unable to update, make sure only trusted actors can control the arguments passed to jsii-diff.\n\n## References\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory, AWS asks that you contact AWS Security via the [vulnerability reporting page](https://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting) or directly via email to [aws-security@amazon.com](mailto:aws-security@amazon.com).
