Summary

Due to the insufficient sanitization of the file argument in the launchEditor, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on Windows by supplying a filename that contains special characters.

Impact

If the following conditions are met, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the computer that is using the launch-editor:

• An attacker can place a file with the malicious filename
• An attacker can call the launchEditor method with the file argument controlled
• The launch-editor package is running on Windows

For example, some development server using this package satisfy these conditions, as a malicious website might be able to force the downloading of a file and the path of that file is predictable.

Patch

This issue has been fixed in the launch-editor version 2.9.0 (commit).
