**Vulnerability:** Known high-severity vulnerabilities discovered by the audit in `js-yaml` and `nanoid` packages.
**Learning:** Deeply nested dependencies (`js-yaml` via `eslint`, `nanoid` via `vitest/vite`) may expose the application to DoS or logic loops.
**Prevention:** Use `pnpm.overrides` in the root `package.json` to enforce patched versions across all transitive paths in a pnpm workspace.

## 2025-02-19 - Command Injection in Browser Launch (auth-flow.ts)
**Vulnerability:** URL protocol was not validated before launching browser via `spawn` with `windowsVerbatimArguments: true` or shell commands, which could allow arbitrary command execution or local file read (e.g. `file:///etc/passwd`).
**Learning:** Even when avoiding `exec` in favor of `spawn`, `windowsVerbatimArguments` bypasses node escaping, making it susceptible to injection if inputs aren't strictly checked.
**Prevention:** Always parse untrusted URIs (e.g. using `new URL()`) and enforce allowlist of safe protocols (like `http:` or `https:`) before passing them to the OS.

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

๐Ÿ’ก 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].

launching must bypass cmd.exe to prevent query characters such as |, ^, and &
from being interpreted as shell syntax. Update the auth-flow URL-opening logic
to spawn explorer.exe directly with parsedUrl.href, detached execution, and
ignored stdio, while preserving the existing protocol validation; add coverage
for URLs containing those characters.
