Upgrade snyk to version 1.996.0 or higher.
Overview
snyk is an advanced tool that scans and monitors projects for security vulnerabilities.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the snyk-go-plugin which is used by the Snyk CLI tool.
A successful exploit, allows attackers to run arbitrary commands on the host system where the Snyk CLI is installed. In order to exploit this vulnerability, a target would have to execute the “snyk test” command on untrusted files. As developers are unlikely to run "snyk test" on untrusted files, an attacker might have to trick them into opening a malicious file before running "snyk test".
