How to fix?

Upgrade caffeinated-whale-cli to version 0.14.0 or higher.

Overview

caffeinated-whale-cli is an A CLI tool to help manage Frappe Docker instances.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection due to improper validation and sanitization of user-supplied site names and bench path inputs in the unlock command. The command constructs shell calls using these values without neutralizing shell metacharacters. An attacker can exploit this by providing crafted input containing characters such as ;, &, |, or $ to execute arbitrary system commands with the privileges of the running process.
