security: [HIGH] Command injection via unsafe variable interpolation in growth.sh

[louisgv]

File: .claude/skills/setup-agent-team/growth.sh
Severity: HIGH
Finding: Lines 67, 83, 86-96, 137-151 use unsafe variable interpolation in bun -e commands

Lines 67 and 83 directly interpolate ${REDDIT_DATA_FILE} into JavaScript string literals passed to bun -e:

POST_COUNT=$(bun -e "const d=JSON.parse(await Bun.file('${REDDIT_DATA_FILE}').text()); ...")
REDDIT_JSON=$(cat "${REDDIT_DATA_FILE}")

Lines 86-96 and 137-151 interpolate ${PROMPT_FILE}, ${REDDIT_DATA_FILE}, ${PROMPT_TEMPLATE}, ${DECISIONS_FILE}, ${CLAUDE_STREAM_FILE}, and ${CLAUDE_OUTPUT_FILE} into multi-line JavaScript heredocs.

If any of these variables contain single quotes or other shell metacharacters, they could break out of the string context and execute arbitrary JavaScript code. While these are mktemp-generated paths (which are safe), the pattern is unsafe and could be copied to contexts where the variables come from user input.

Recommendation: Use environment variable passing instead of string interpolation:

# SAFE:
_DATA="${REDDIT_DATA_FILE}" bun -e 'const d = JSON.parse(await Bun.file(process.env._DATA).text()); ...'

# UNSAFE (current):
bun -e "const d = JSON.parse(await Bun.file('${REDDIT_DATA_FILE}').text()); ..."

This is documented in CLAUDE.md .claude/rules/shell-scripts.md but not followed here.

Acknowledged. This is a HIGH severity finding in growth.sh, which is part of the bot infrastructure and is off-limits for automated fixes. The unsafe variable interpolation into bun -e commands needs to be converted to environment variable passing as recommended in the issue. This requires manual maintainer review and a careful fix to avoid breaking the growth pipeline.

Security Triage Assessment

Issue Type: Security Review - Command injection via unsafe variable interpolation in growth.sh

Status: TRIAGED ✓

Finding: Issue correctly identified HIGH severity command injection risk in growth.sh from unsafe variable interpolation into bun -e commands. Assessment by refactor/community-coordinator is accurate:

• Variables interpolated directly into JavaScript execution context
• Should use environment variable passing instead (_VAR="value" bun -e ...)
• This is bot infrastructure marked off-limits for automated fixes

Recommendation: HIGH severity — requires careful maintainer review. The recommended fix (environment variable passing) is appropriate and documented. Flagged correctly by refactor/community-coordinator.
