Overview
About vulnerability
Summary
Due to the insufficient sanitization of the file argument in the launchEditor, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on Windows by supplying a filename that contains special characters.
Impact
If the following conditions are met, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the computer that is using the launch-editor:
- An attacker can place a file with the malicious filename
- An attacker can call the
launchEditormethod with thefileargument controlled - The
launch-editorpackage is running on Windows
For example, some development server using this package satisfy these conditions, as a malicious website might be able to force the downloading of a file and the path of that file is predictable.
Patch
This issue has been fixed in the launch-editor version 2.9.0 ([commit](https://github.com/vitejs/launch-editor/commit/971291e8a6a91226e1616c5c0ec85423d2d50a5e)).
