Summary

Address critical severity security finding in bin/pushme.js.

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID V-001
Severity CRITICAL
Scanner multi_agent_ai
Rule V-001
File bin/pushme.js:186
Assessment Likely exploitable
CWE CWE-22

Description: The bin/pushme.js CLI tool reads process.argv[2] as 'command' and process.argv[3] as 'targetDir' without validation. The targetDir flows directly to path.resolve() and fs operations (mkdirSync, existsSync, readdirSync) without bounds checking, enabling path traversal attacks.

Evidence

Exploitation scenario: An attacker with local CLI access can invoke: 'node bin/pushme.js init ../../../sensitive/path' to traverse outside intended directories.

Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule V-001 flagged this pattern.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.

Threat Model Context

This is a Node.js library - vulnerabilities affect downstream consumers who use this package.

Changes

  • bin/pushme.js

Behavior Preservation

The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.


This change addresses a pattern flagged by static analysis. The code path handles user-influenced input and the fix reduces the attack surface against both manual and automated exploitation.
