The npm package `interactive-git-checkout` is an interactive command-line tool that allows users to checkout a git branch while it prompts for the branch name on the command-line. It is available as an npm package and can be installed via `npm install -g interactive-git-checkout`. Resources: * Project's npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/interactive-git-checkout ## Command Injection Vulnerability The `interactive-git-checkout` tool is vulnerable to a command injection vulnerability because it passes the branch name to the `git checkout` command using the Node.js child process module's `exec()` function without proper input validation or sanitization. The following vulnerable code snippets demonstrates the issue: ```js const { exec: execCb } = require('child_process'); const { promisify } = require('util'); const exec = promisify(execCb); module.exports = async (targetBranch) => { const { stdout, stderr } = await exec(`git checkout ${targetBranch}`); process.st...
