It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-24725 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- shescape (npm): affected from 1.4.0; fixed in 1.5.1\n- shescape (npm): affected from 1.4.0; fixed in 1.5.1\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-24725/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-24725/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-24725","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-24725/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-24725","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-446w-rrm4-r47f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"JavaScript shell escape library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can expose the home directory path on Unix systems using Bash when the interpolation option is enabled in the shescape library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"shescape","vendor":"shescape_project"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"},{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Shescape is a shell escape package for JavaScript. An issue in versions 1.4.0 to 1.5.1 allows for exposure of the home directory on Unix systems when using Bash with the `escape` or `escapeAll` functions from the _shescape_ API with the `interpolation` option set to `true`. Other tested shells, Dash and Zsh, are not affected. Depending on how the output of _shescape_ is used, directory traversal may be possible in the application using _shescape_. The issue was patched in version 1.5.1. As a workaround, manually escape all instances of the tilde character (`~`) using `arg.replace(/~/g, \"\\\\~\")`.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Exposure of home directory through shescape on Unix with Bash","id":"CVE-2022-24725","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2022"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Unauthenticated control plane denial of service attack in Istio","id":"CVE-2022-24726"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["1.5.1"],"introduced":["1.4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"shescape","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-446w-rrm4-r47f"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["1.5.1"],"introduced":["1.4.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"shescape","purl":"pkg:npm/shescape","source":"GHSA-446w-rrm4-r47f"}],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in table parsing extension leads to heap memory corruption","id":"CVE-2022-24724"},"products":["shescape"],"published":"2022-03-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Insufficient escaping of whitespace in shescape","id":"CVE-2022-31180","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-01"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Insufficient escaping of line feeds for CMD in shescape","id":"CVE-2022-31179","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-01"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Shescape escape() leaves bracket glob expansion active on Bash, BusyBox, and Dash","id":"CVE-2026-32094","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-11"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Shescape on Windows escaping may be bypassed in threaded context","id":"CVE-2023-40185","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-23"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Null characters not escaped in shescape","id":"CVE-2021-21384","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-18"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Shescape Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-36064","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-22","vendors":["ericcornelissen"]},"summary":"Attackers can expose the home directory path on Unix systems using Bash when the interpolation option is enabled in the shescape library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-24725/"}
