skilletonnpmDescription
Summary
skilleton versions prior to 0.3.1 include security-related weaknesses in repository normalization and path handling logic.
Version 0.3.1 contains fixes and additional test coverage for these issues.
Affected Versions
<0.3.1
Patched Versions
>=0.3.1
Impact
In affected versions, crafted input could trigger unsafe or inefficient behavior in repository/path processing code paths.
0.3.1 mitigates this by:
- replacing vulnerable parsing behavior with deterministic logic,
- validating subpaths earlier before allocating git worktree resources,
- adding stricter and broader regression tests around these flows.
Severity
Low to Moderate (project-maintainer assessed)
Mitigation
Upgrade to 0.3.1 or later.
Workarounds
No complete workaround is recommended other than upgrading.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for skilleton, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update skilleton to 0.3.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-5g3j-89fr-r2vp is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
