MEDIUM 5.5

DescriptionNVD

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, "\\~").
