cve-program · CVE-2024-52011
Publishedlaunch-editor allows users to open files with line numbers in editor from Node.js. Prior to version 2.9.0, 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. This issue has been fixed in the `launch-editor` version 2.9.0, corresponding to vite version 5.4.9.

Published### 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 `launchEditor` method with the `file` argument controlled - The `launch-editor` package 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)).
