GHSA-6xj8-qv9j-xcjq: Oh My Posh: Arbitrary command execution via template injection in the path segment
(updated )
Oh My Posh re-renders the resolved path string, which contains the raw folder names taken from the filesystem, through the Go text/template engine. That engine’s function map exposes a cmd function that runs arbitrary OS commands. A directory whose name contains a Go template expression is therefore evaluated when the prompt renders, giving arbitrary command execution as the current user as soon as the shell is inside (or below) that directory. The built-in default configuration is affected.
