CVE-2025-57285: 
JavaScript vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

A command injection vulnerability was discovered in codeceptjs version 3.7.3, identified as CVE-2025-57285. The vulnerability exists in the emptyFolder function within lib/utils.js, where the execSync command directly concatenates user-controlled directoryPath parameter without proper sanitization or escaping. This vulnerability was disclosed on September 8, 2025 (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as a Command Injection (CWE-77) with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 9.8 CRITICAL (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in a command, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands through the directoryPath parameter (NVD, MITRE).

Impact

The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system, potentially leading to complete system compromise with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users should upgrade from codeceptjs version 3.7.3 to a patched version when available. In the meantime, careful validation and sanitization of user input, particularly for the directoryPath parameter, should be implemented (NVD).
