What is GHSA-wgw3-gf4p-62xc?
GHSA-wgw3-gf4p-62xc is a command injection vulnerability in wizard-syncronizer, published on 11 Sep 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
All versions of wizard-syncronizer are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package does not validate input on the cloneAndSync function and concatenates it to an exec call. This can be abused through a malicious widget containing the payload in the gitURL value or through a MITM attack since the package does not enforce HTTPS. This may allow attackers to run arbitrary commands in the system.
Recommendation
No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative module until a fix is made available.
