froxlor/froxlor fixed: 2.0.0-beta1 
Upgrade froxlor/froxlor to 2.0.0-beta1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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

inspect dependencies for froxlor/froxlor

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-4864, inspect your project dependencies for Froxlor/froxlor:

inspect dependencies for froxlor/froxlor

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Froxlor/froxlor in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.0.0-beta1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-88: Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection'), where the product constructs a string for a command to be executed by a separate component in another control sphere, but it does not properly delimit the intended arguments, options, or switches within that command string. In Froxlor/froxlor, 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

Argument Injection in GitHub repository froxlor/froxlor prior to 2.0.0-beta1.
