Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. Windows users using the sops direct editor option (sops file.yaml) can have a local executable named either vi, vim, or nano executed if running sops from cmd.exe.

This attack is only viable if an attacker is able to place a malicious binary within the directory from which you are running sops. Also, this attack is only possible when using cmd.exe or the Windows C library SearchPath function. This is a result of these Windows tools including . within their PATH by default.
