New CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-77 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade tracexec to version 0.14.0 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Argument Injection in the command line reconstruction process when environment variables with keys starting with a dash are present. An attacker can cause inaccurate command line reconstruction and potential argument injection by crafting such environment variables and convincing a user to copy and execute the reconstructed command line in a terminal.
##Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding copying and executing commands from the interface that contain environment variables with keys starting with a dash.
