Moderate
ebiggers published GHSA-w4f8-fxq2-j35v Feb 26, 2022

Package

gomod fscrypt (Go)

Affected versions

<= 0.3.2

Patched versions

0.3.3

Description

The bash completion script for fscrypt through v0.3.2 allows injection of commands via crafted mountpoint paths, allowing privilege escalation under a specific set of circumstances. A local user who has control over mountpoint paths could potentially escalate their privileges if they create a malicious mountpoint path and if the system administrator happens to be using the fscrypt bash completion script to complete mountpoint paths. We recommend upgrading to v0.3.3 or above.
