Replaced the vulnerable `-v b="$branch"` awk variable assignment with an environment variable approach `BRANCH="$branch" awk ... ENVIRON["BRANCH"]` to prevent awk from evaluating escape sequences in branch names. Added a BATS test to verify correct handling of backslashes.

🎯 What: The vulnerability fixed
Using
awk -v b="$branch"inget_worktree_pathallowed awk to evaluate escape sequences in the$branchvariable, leading to AWK injection if the branch name contained backslashes.An attacker or malicious repository could use specially crafted branch names with backslashes to trigger unexpected behavior or execute unintended logic when awk processes the input, potentially exposing the user to command injection or unauthorized data access.
🛡️ Solution: How the fix addresses the vulnerability
Replaced the vulnerable
-vvariable assignment with an environment variable approach. Specifically, usedBRANCH="$branch" awk -F'\t' '$1 == ENVIRON["BRANCH"] { print $2 }'. This ensuresawktreats the input as a literal string without evaluating embedded escape sequences. Added a BATS test to confirm proper handling of backslashes in branch names.PR created automatically by Jules for task 1842531871741686573 started by @RodrigoEspinosa
