From 1ebc56ca396a167cfb9ea9975d48c5ef3d12db75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: xy200303 <3483421977@qq.com> Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 01:22:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix(approval): detect shell-expanded command names (#36846) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Command-name obfuscation bypassed the dangerous-command denylist: the executable name could be spelled with shell tricks that survive regex matching but still resolve to a blocked command at runtime — $(echo rm), ${0/x/r}m, backticks, and printf substitutions. Adds a non-executing shell-word scanner that deobfuscates only at command positions (start, after ;|&&||, inside $(...), after sudo/env/exec/... wrappers) and feeds the resulting variants through the existing HARDLINE_PATTERNS / DANGEROUS_PATTERNS — no second blocklist. Scoping to command words keeps ordinary arguments (echo $(echo rm) -rf /) from being promoted into command names.
