Potential fix for https://github.com/akabarki76/gemini-cli/security/code-scanning/9
To fix the issue, we need to ensure that
newPathis properly escaped or sanitized before being passed to the shell command. The best approach is to use a library likeshell-quoteto escape special characters innewPathand other potentially unsafe inputs. This ensures that the shell interprets the arguments as literal strings rather than commands.The changes will involve:
shell-quotelibrary.newPathandoldPathusingshellQuote.quotebefore embedding them in theargsarray for the shell command.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
