Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass allowlist enforcement and approval prompts.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in the node host system.run handler when processing rawCommand and command[] values. A remote user can supply an allowlisted rawCommand while providing a different command[] argv for execution to bypass allowlist enforcement and approval prompts.
Only deployments using the node host execution path with allowlist-based exec policy and approval prompting driven by allowlist misses are vulnerable.
