Summary
CodeceptJS's incomprehensive sanitation can lead to Command Injection
Details

CodeceptJS versions 3.5.0 through 3.7.5-beta.18 contain a command injection vulnerability in the emptyFolder function (lib/utils.js). The execSync command directly concatenates the user-controlled directoryPath parameter without sanitization or escaping, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Severity ?
9.8 (Critical)
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
