{"id":"CVE-2022-24725","aliases":["GHSA-446w-rrm4-r47f"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2022-24725","summary":"Exposure of home directory through shescape on Unix with Bash","details":"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, \"\\\\~\")`.","published":"2022-03-03T21:35:10Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:43.456022319Z","cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":2,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"shescape","fixedVersion":"1.5.1"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/pull/170","label":"ericcornelissen/shescape#170"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/24xxx/CVE-2022-24725.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/security/advisories/GHSA-446w-rrm4-r47f"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-24725"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/issues/169"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/pull/170"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:43.456022319Z"}}
