3Description
The command auto-approval module in CodeRider-Kilo contains an OS Command Injection vulnerability, rendering its whitelist security mechanism ineffective. The vulnerability stems from the incorrect use of an incompatible command parser (the Unix-based shell-quote library) to analyze commands on the Windows platform, coupled with a failure to correctly handle Windows CMD-specific escape sequences (^). Attackers can exploit this discrepancy between the parsing logic and the execution environment by constructing payloads such as git log ^" & malicious_command ^". The CodeRider-Kilo parser is deceived by the escape characters, misinterpreting the malicious command connector (&) as being within a protected string argument and thus auto-approving the command. However, the underlying Windows CMD interpreter ignores the escaped quotes, parsing and executing the subsequent malicious command directly. This allows attackers to achieve arbitrary Remote Code Execution (RCE) after bypassing what appears to be a legitimate Git whitelist check.
Analysis
CodeRider-Kilo's command auto-approval module fails to correctly parse Windows CMD escape sequences (^), allowing attackers to bypass its Git command whitelist and achieve arbitrary remote code execution. The vulnerability exploits a mismatch between the Unix-based shell-quote parser used for validation and the actual Windows CMD interpreter behavior, enabling attackers to inject malicious commands through crafted payloads such as git log ^" & malicious_command ^". …
