check-branches is vulnerable to command Injection

Published Sep 30, 2025 · Updated Sep 30, 2025 · Assigned by snyk

Description

All versions of the package check-branches are vulnerable to Command Injection check-branches is a command-line tool that is interacted with locally, or via CI, to confirm no conflicts exist in git branches.

However, the library follows these conventions which can be abused:
1. It trusts branch names as they are (plain text)
2. It spawns git commands by concatenating user input

Since a branch name is potentially a user input - as users can create branches remotely via pull requests, or simply due to privileged access to a repository - it can effectively be abused to run any command.
