🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] CLI URL 명령어 주입 취약점 수정

[seonghobae]

🚨 심각도: HIGH
💡 취약점: CLI에서 브라우저를 열 때 (windowsVerbatimArguments: true를 사용하는 Windows의 spawn이나 타 OS의 open 명령어) 외부에서 전달된 인증 URL에 대한 프로토콜 검증이 누락되었습니다.
🎯 영향: 악의적인 공격자나 손상된 API가 file:///etc/passwd 같은 로컬 파일 읽기 시도나 브라우저 명령어 주입 등을 유발할 수 있습니다.
🔧 수정: 내장 URL 모듈을 사용해 URL을 파싱하고, 엄격한 allowlist (http:, https:)를 적용하여 안전한 프로토콜만 OS 쉘로 전달되도록 수정했습니다.
✅ 검증: pnpm test로 신규 테스트(rejects invalid url protocols)가 정상적으로 동작하며 OS 명령어가 실행되지 않음을 확인했습니다.

Microsoft cmd.exe command separators pipe caret ampersand and Node.js windowsVerbatimArguments spawn documentation

💡 Result:

In Windows cmd.exe, specific characters have reserved functions that must be escaped to be treated as literal text [1][2]. Command Separators and Special Characters The primary special characters include the ampersand (&), pipe (|), parentheses (), and redirection symbols (<, >) [1][3]. The caret (^) serves as the escape character in cmd.exe [2]. When the interpreter encounters a caret, it treats the character immediately following it as a literal rather than a command separator or operator [2]. If you need to pass these characters as literal arguments to a command, you must use the caret [1][3]. For example, to echo an ampersand, you would use echo ^& [3]. When dealing with complex command lines, such as those involving pipes, you may need additional carets (e.g., ^^^&) because each side of a pipe creates a new cmd.exe instance, which undergoes its own round of parsing [4][5]. Node.js windowsVerbatimArguments The windowsVerbatimArguments option in Node.js child_process.spawn controls how Node.js prepares arguments before passing them to a Windows process [6]. By default (false), Node.js automatically quotes and escapes arguments on Windows to ensure they are interpreted correctly by the receiving process [7][8]. This is generally desired behavior for standard executables [7]. However, cmd.exe has its own unique, complex parsing rules that often conflict with this automatic quoting [7]. When you set windowsVerbatimArguments: true, Node.js disables its automatic quoting and escaping, passing the arguments exactly as provided [6][9]. This is particularly important when spawning cmd.exe, as it allows you to manually control the quoting and escaping according to cmd.exe's specific requirements, rather than relying on Node.js's default MSVCRT-style escaping [7][8]. This option is automatically set to true in Node.js whenever the shell option is enabled and the shell is identified as cmd.exe [6][10].

cmd.exe 호출을 제거하세요.

new URL()은 query의 |와 ^를 그대로 보존합니다. windowsVerbatimArguments: true에서는 Node.js가 인자를 이스케이프하지 않으므로 cmd.exe /c start가 해당 문자를 명령 구문으로 해석할 수 있습니다.

Windows에서는 spawn('explorer.exe', [parsedUrl.href], { detached: true, stdio: 'ignore' })처럼 cmd.exe를 거치지 않는 호출로 변경하세요. |, ^, &를 포함한 URL 테스트도 추가하세요.
