========================================= Variant Analysis: GHSA-hmh4-3xvx-q5hr Testing potential bypasses and variants ========================================= Vulnerable version: /root/.pruva/runs/ghsa-hmh4-3xvx-q5hr_20260220-144417/repro/deno deno 2.6.7 (stable, release, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) Fixed version: /tmp/deno_fixed_binary deno 2.6.8 (stable, release, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) ========================================= [TEST 1] BYPASS: File parameter injection (when no args provided) ---------------------------------------------------------------- The fix only escapes arguments when args.length > 0. When no args are provided, the file parameter is passed directly to the shell without escaping, allowing command injection. Testing on vulnerable version (v2.6.7)... BYPASS CONFIRMED: File parameter injection worked Testing on fixed version (v2.6.8)... BYPASS CONFIRMED: File parameter injection worked === BYPASS CONFIRMED ON FIXED VERSION === This variant bypasses the security fix! ========================================= [TEST 2] VARIANT: exec() function (which always uses shell: true) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Testing if the exec() function has the same bypass Testing exec() on vulnerable version... VARIANT CONFIRMED: exec() command injection worked Testing exec() on fixed version... VARIANT CONFIRMED: exec() command injection worked [TEST 3] VARIANT: Different shell metacharacters in file param ---------------------------------------------------------------- Testing various metacharacters when no args provided Testing metacharacters on vulnerable version... VULNERABLE to semicolon: echo hello; touch /tmp/bypass_marker VULNERABLE to and-operator: echo hello && touch /tmp/bypass_marker VULNERABLE to pipe+semi: echo hello | cat; touch /tmp/bypass_marker VULNERABLE to backtick: echo `touch /tmp/bypass_marker` VULNERABLE to dollar-paren: echo $(touch /tmp/bypass_marker) Metacharacter tests completed Testing metacharacters on fixed version... VULNERABLE to semicolon: echo hello; touch /tmp/bypass_marker VULNERABLE to and-operator: echo hello && touch /tmp/bypass_marker VULNERABLE to pipe+semi: echo hello | cat; touch /tmp/bypass_marker VULNERABLE to backtick: echo `touch /tmp/bypass_marker` VULNERABLE to dollar-paren: echo $(touch /tmp/bypass_marker) Metacharacter tests completed ========================================= VARIANT ANALYSIS SUMMARY ========================================= ✅ BYPASS CONFIRMED: The fix does not cover the 'file' parameter when called without arguments. This is a gap in the fix. Impact: HIGH - An attacker who can control the file/command parameter when args=[] can still achieve command injection. Recommendation: The fix should also escape/sanitize the 'file' parameter, or at minimum validate it doesn't contain shell metacharacters before executing.
