Description
@runnerty/executor-decompress through 3.1.1 contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows attackers to execute commands by supplying crafted archive file names to compress_file. Attackers who can name a file dropped into a watched directory can inject $() substitutions or unquoted shell metacharacters into shelljs exec() calls, running commands with Runnerty process privileges.

AI Analysis

Impact

@runnerty/executor‑decompress allows an attacker to inject operating system commands by supplying specially crafted archive file names to the compress_file function. The vulnerability is an instance of OS command injection (CWE‑78) that can be triggered when the library passes an unvalidated file name to shelljs exec(), causing commands to run with the privileges of the running Runnerty process. The resulting impact is remote command execution and potential full system compromise on the host where the process runs.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the runnerty product @runnerty/executor‑decompress up through version 3.1.1. No other versions are listed as affected and no additional vendors or products are identified in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 8.7, indicating high severity. EPSS score is 3%, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attack feasibility depends on an attacker’s ability to influence the name of a file dropped into a watched directory that the executor processes. If such access exists, the attacker can supply filenames containing $() substitutions or unquoted shell metacharacters, leading to arbitrary command execution. The EPSS score of 3% indicates a relatively low probability of exploitation, but the high severity and local- or network‑based attack vector warrant prompt action.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply an updated version of @runnerty/executor‑decompress that fixes the command injection flaw
  • Restrict write access to the directory monitored by executor‑decompress so that only trusted system components or users can submit archive files
  • Implement input validation or sanitization on archive file names to remove shell metacharacters before invoking shelljs exec()
