How to Fix CVE-2018-25083

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Pullit dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

pullit fixed: 1.4.0 
npm install pullit@1.4.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls pullit

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2018-25083, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls pullit

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Pullit in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.4.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls pullit command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Pullit, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Versions of `pullit` prior to 1.4.0 are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package does not validate input on git branch names and concatenates it to an exec call, allowing attackers to run arbitrary commands in the system. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 1.4.0 or later. ## Credits This vulnerability was discovered by @lirantal
