The Stacks actions.
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe SSL helper passes an unsanitized domain into a sudo shell command, creating a command-injection vulnerability when setup is invoked with attacker-controlled domain input. The inspected entry point does not invoke this helper automatically, so this is a security warning rather than evidence of package-wide malicious behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
A caller invokes setupSSL with a crafted domain, or APP_URL contains one, on a system where the helper runs its sudo hosts-file update.
Impact
Shell metacharacters in the domain can execute unintended commands with the privileges available to sudo.
Mechanism
The domain is embedded in hostsEntry and then interpolated into a shell command passed to sh -c under sudo.
AI rationale
The SSL helper passes an unsanitized domain into a sudo shell command, creating a command-injection vulnerability when setup is invoked with attacker-controlled domain input. The inspected entry point does not invoke this helper automatically, so this is a security warning rather than evidence of package-wide malicious behavior.
Evidence
dist/setup/ssl.js/etc/hosts
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- setupSSL takes its domain from options or APP_URL without sanitizing it before passing it to addDomainToHosts.
- addDomainToHosts interpolates the domain into a shell command executed through sudo, allowing shell metacharacters in the domain to alter that command.
Evidence against
- The only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs the package build.
- The main entry point registers the action runner and re-exports modules; the inspected code does not show it invoking SSL setup automatically.
- Package discovery reads dependency metadata and writes a generated manifest, consistent with the package’s framework tooling.
