Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an os command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended os command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Github.com/Shopify/ejson2env/v2, 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.

"details" : "### Summary\nThe `ejson2env` tool has a vulnerability related to how it writes to `stdout`. Specifically, the tool is intended to write an export statement for environment variables and their values. However, due to inadequate output sanitization, there is a potential risk where variable names or values may include malicious content, resulting in additional unintended commands being output to `stdout`. If this output is improperly utilized in further command execution, it could lead to command injection vulnerabilities, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the host system.\n\n### Details\nThe vulnerability exists because environment variables are not properly sanitized during the decryption phase, which enables malicious keys or encrypted values to inject commands.\n\n### Impact\nAn attacker with control over `.ejson` files can inject commands in the environment where `source $(ejson2env)` or `eval ejson2env` are executed.\n\n\n### Mitigation\n- Update to a version of `ejson2env` that sanitizes the output during decryption or\n- Do not use `ejson2env` to decrypt untrusted user secrets or\n- Do not evaluate or execute the direct output from `ejson2env` without removing nonprintable characters.\n\n### Credit\nThanks to security researcher [Demonia](https://hackerone.com/demonia?type=user) for reporting this issue.",
