AI-suggested
European organizations should upgrade the kimi-agent-sdk to version 0.1.6 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by using execFileSync() with argument arrays to safely handle filenames. Until upgrading, developers must ensure that all .vsix files or other inputs used by the vsix-publish.js and ovsx-publish.js scripts have sanitized filenames free of shell metacharacters such as $(), ``, ;, &, |, or other command injection vectors. Implement strict filename validation or whitelisting in build and publish scripts. Restrict access to development environments and scripts to trusted personnel only. Employ code review and static analysis tools to detect unsafe use of execSync() or similar functions in scripts. Additionally, consider running development scripts in isolated containers or sandboxes to limit the impact of potential command injection. Regularly audit development tools and scripts for security best practices to prevent similar issues.
Description
Kimi Agent SDK is a set of libraries that expose the Kimi Code (Kimi CLI) agent runtime in applications. The vsix-publish.js and ovsx-publish.js scripts pass filenames to execSync() as shell command strings. Prior to version 0.1.6, filenames containing shell metacharacters like $(cmd) could execute arbitrary commands. Note: This vulnerability exists only in the repository's development scripts. The published VSCode extension does not include these files and end users are not affected. This is fixed in version 0.1.6 by replacing execSync with execFileSync using array arguments. As a workaround, ensure .vsix files in the project directory have safe filenames before running publish scripts.
