CVE-2020-15123Command injection in codecov (npm package)
Critical 9.3
In plain English
A critical-severity OS command injection in codecov-node from codecov. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 3.8% (higher than 90% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
In codecov (npm package) before version 3.7.1 the upload method has a command injection vulnerability. Clients of the codecov-node library are unlikely to be aware of this, so they might unwittingly write code that contains a vulnerability. A similar CVE (CVE-2020-7597 for GHSA-5q88-cjfq-g2mh) was issued but the fix was incomplete. It only blocked &, and command injection is still possible using backticks instead to bypass the sanitizer. The attack surface is low in this case. Particularly in the standard use of codecov, where the module is used directly in a build pipeline, not built against as a library in another application that may supply malicious input and perform command injection.
