Upgrade deepseek-tui to version 0.8.23 or higher.
Overview
deepseek-tui is an Install and run deepseek and deepseek-tui binaries from GitHub release artifacts.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via the run_tests process. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by introducing malicious test code into a repository, which is then automatically executed without user approval when tests are run. This is only exploitable if a repository contains malicious test code and the system is configured to auto-approve test execution.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by requiring manual approval before running tests, aligning the approval process with that of shell execution.
