Best fix: stop embedding
target_host(and credentials) into the PowerShell script text. Instead, pass them as PowerShell arguments and reference them inside a fixed script viaparam(...). This keeps the executed script structure constant and treats user input as data, not code.In
core/remote_executor.py, replace theps_scriptconstruction and command list assembly (around lines 183–197) with:param($ComputerName, $Username, $Password).New-PSSession -ComputerName $ComputerName(no string interpolation).Invoke-Command -Session $_s -ScriptBlock { <resolved allowlisted command> }.cmd_listas[..., "-Command", ps_script, "-ComputerName", target_host, "-Username", username_arg, "-Password", password_arg].This preserves functionality while removing the tainted flow into executable command text.
