220-227:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 MajorDownload-and-exec detection misses valid output flag forms.
Current code only recognizes
-o/--outputwith a separate argument. This bypasses detection of inline forms (curl -o/tmp/x), short options without spaces (-oFILE), and wget's-Oand--output-documentforms. Parse all supported output flag syntax:
- curl:
-o FILE,-oFILE,--output FILE- wget:
-O FILE,-OFILE,--output-document FILE,--output-document=FILE🔧 Proposed fix
- const outputFlagIndex = args.findIndex( - (arg) => arg === "-o" || arg === "--output" - ); - if (outputFlagIndex === -1 || outputFlagIndex + 1 >= args.length) return null; - - const outputPath = args[outputFlagIndex + 1]; + const outputFlagIndex = args.findIndex( + (arg) => + arg === "-o" || + arg === "--output" || + arg === "-O" || + arg === "--output-document" || + arg.startsWith("-o") || + arg.startsWith("-O") || + arg.startsWith("--output=") || + arg.startsWith("--output-document=") + ); + if (outputFlagIndex === -1) return null; + + const outputFlag = args[outputFlagIndex]; + let outputPath: string | undefined; + if ( + outputFlag === "-o" || + outputFlag === "--output" || + outputFlag === "-O" || + outputFlag === "--output-document" + ) { + outputPath = args[outputFlagIndex + 1]; + } else if (outputFlag.startsWith("--output=")) { + outputPath = outputFlag.slice("--output=".length); + } else if (outputFlag.startsWith("--output-document=")) { + outputPath = outputFlag.slice("--output-document=".length); + } else if (outputFlag.startsWith("-o") || outputFlag.startsWith("-O")) { + outputPath = outputFlag.slice(2); + } if (!outputPath || outputPath === "/dev/stdout") return null;

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 295-310: The README docs list accepted SHELLSHIELD_SKIP values but
omit "enabled"; update the documentation to include "enabled" alongside `1`,
`true`, `yes`, `on`, `enable` and adjust the "All of these work" examples if
needed to show SHELLSHIELD_SKIP=enabled as a valid bypass; ensure references to
the variable (SHELLSHIELD_SKIP and SHELLSHIELD_MAX_SUBSHELL_DEPTH) remain
unchanged.
In `@src/constants.ts`:
- Around line 1-15: DEFAULT_BLOCKED currently includes "blkid" (a read-only
utility) and treats "systemctl" as fully blocked; remove "blkid" from
DEFAULT_BLOCKED and implement subcommand-aware handling for "systemctl" similar
to how "dd" is handled: keep "systemctl" in the list of commands checked by the
validation routine, but update the validator to parse the first non-flag
argument/subcommand and only block destructive subcommands ("stop", "disable",
"mask", "reboot", etc.) while allowing benign ones ("status", "list-units",
"show"); update references to DEFAULT_BLOCKED and the command validation
function that currently special-cases "dd" so the new logic applies to
"systemctl" without reintroducing "blkid" into the blocked set.
In `@src/integrations/templates.ts`:
- Around line 5-8: Update the shell templates to mirror the CLI's
isBypassEnabled logic instead of using a simple non-empty check: replace the `[
-n "$SHELLSHIELD_SKIP" ]` test in the zsh (and analogous bash/fish) template
with logic that parses SHELLSHIELD_SKIP and only treats values "1", "true",
"yes", "on", "enable", or "enabled" (case-insensitive) as truthy; reference the
CLI helper isBypassEnabled for the exact accepted tokens and implement
equivalent string comparisons in the template so SHELLSHIELD_SKIP=false or 0
will not bypass the hook.
- Line 38: The zsh parameter expansion using local
pasted="\${LBUFFER#$before_left}" treats $before_left as a glob pattern, which
mis-parses pasted content containing glob metacharacters; update the extraction
to quote the pattern so it's treated literally (use the form that quotes
$before_left in the ${LBUFFER#...} expression) to ensure local pasted, LBUFFER
and before_left produce a literal prefix-stripping instead of glob
interpretation.
In `@src/parser/command-checks.ts`:
- Around line 52-64: The recursive-flag detection in the chmod/chown/chgrp block
only checks for standalone "-R" or "--recursive", missing combined short options
like "-Rfv"; update the hasRecursive logic (used with resolvedCmd, args,
isCriticalPath) to treat any short-option cluster that starts with "-" but not
"--" and contains the character "R" as equivalent to "-R" (e.g.,
arg.startsWith("-") && !arg.startsWith("--") && arg.includes("R")), while still
allowing the existing "--recursive" check; keep the rest of the loop that
inspects non-option args and calls isCriticalPath unchanged so combined flags
trigger the same blocked response and suggestion.
In `@src/parser/rules/CoreAstRule.ts`:
- Around line 26-27: The process-substitution detection fails for locally
assigned vars because handleOperator is called without the current vars map
(e.g., calls like this.handleOperator(entry, tokens[i + 1]) in CoreAstRule), so
it cannot resolve assignments like CMD=curl; <($CMD ...). Update the calls to
pass the current vars map (e.g., this.handleOperator(entry, tokens[i + 1],
vars)) and update handleOperator's signature/implementation to accept and
consult the vars map when resolving operators; make the same change for the
other call site around the 81-90 region so both locations use the vars map for
correct detection.
- Around line 53-72: The current normalizedEntry is derived from the raw token
and misses variable resolution, letting patterns like "$CMD=curl; $CMD ..."
bypass checks; change the flow so you first resolve the token using the
vars-aware resolver (apply vars to tokens[i]) and then pass that resolved value
into normalizeCommandName to produce normalizedEntry; use this
resolved/normalizedEntry for handleCurlWget, handleBashSubshells,
isCommandPrefix and the git isGitRm check, and ensure handleCommand receives the
resolved token/context instead of the raw entry.
In `@src/parser/rules/RawThreatRule.ts`:
- Around line 107-110: The subshell detection and destructive-command regexes
run on unbounded input; before computing subshellMatches and testing
/\b(?:rm|shred|unlink|wipe|srm|dd)\b/i, add a guard that checks command.length
against the shared max-length constant (e.g., MAX_INPUT_LENGTH or whatever
shared constant is used project-wide) and skip the regex work if the command
exceeds that limit; update the logic around subshellMatches (the
command.match(...) call) and the subsequent destructive command test to only
execute when command.length <= MAX_INPUT_LENGTH so the 10k cap is consistently
enforced.
In `@src/parser/subshell.ts`:
- Around line 4-9: SHELL_FLAGS currently contains non-command-bearing options
causing checkSubshellCommand to misidentify the command token; update the
detection to only consider flags that actually take a command string (e.g. "-c",
"--command", "-C", "--init-command") or change checkSubshellCommand to scan the
argv for a "-c"/"--command" occurrence and treat the next token as the command,
removing/ignoring flags like "-e", "-x", "-o", and "--output" from SHELL_FLAGS
so they no longer produce false negatives.
In `@src/parser/utils.test.ts`:
- Around line 19-23: resolveVariable incorrectly treats empty string as a valid
value for the `${VAR:-default}` form; update the logic in the resolveVariable
function so that default substitution triggers when the variable is undefined,
null, or an empty string (i.e., change the current check `if (val !== undefined
&& val !== null)` to treat `val === ""` the same as unset for the `:-`
operator), ensuring `${VAR:-default}` returns the default when VAR is "" while
keeping other expansion behaviors intact.
In `@src/parser/utils.ts`:
- Around line 3-7: normalizeCommandName currently only splits on '/' so Windows
paths like 'C:\Windows\System32\curl' or UNC paths can bypass checks; update
normalizeCommandName to normalize backslashes to forward slashes (or otherwise
handle '\\') before extracting the basename: after stripping a leading '\' (the
existing token.startsWith("\\") logic) convert remaining backslashes to '/' (or
perform a split that accounts for both separators), then call .split("/").pop()
and lowercase the result so Windows path-qualified commands properly normalize
to the executable name.
In `@src/security/validators.ts`:
- Around line 6-8: The current branch that checks if (str.length >
MAX_INPUT_LENGTH) returns { detected: false }, which allows oversized inputs to
bypass homograph detection; change this to fail-closed by returning { detected:
true, reason: 'input_too_long', detail: `exceeds MAX_INPUT_LENGTH` } (or
otherwise surface an error) inside the same function in
src/security/validators.ts where MAX_INPUT_LENGTH is checked; if you decide to
keep the current behavior, instead add explicit documentation and a logged
warning indicating this is a known limitation and why. Ensure the returned shape
matches existing detector output so callers (e.g., any code handling detection
results) can handle the new reason field.
In `@src/ui/terminal.ts`:
- Line 37: Update the bypass hint string in the template literal (the line that
builds the message using `${dim}Bypass: SHELLSHIELD_SKIP=1 <command> (or: true,
yes, on)${reset}\n`) to list all accepted values, adding "enable" and "enabled"
(e.g., “or: true, yes, on, enable, enabled”) so the user hint accurately
reflects supported options; modify the string used in the function/constant that
constructs the terminal hint in terminal.ts accordingly.

5-16: Consider adding test cases for whitespace-padded values.The implementation uses

Consider removing blkid from the default blocked list and adding flag-aware handling for systemctl.
blkid is a read-only informational utility that displays block device attributes and has no destructive capabilities. Including it alongside wipefs and badblocks appears to be a categorization error. Unlike other blocked commands (e.g., dd which checks for of= flags), there is no special handling for commands with mixed-risk subcommands.
systemctl similarly benefits from flag-aware blocking: operations like systemctl status, systemctl list-units, and systemctl show are benign read-only operations, while only destructive variants (stop, disable, mask, reboot) warrant blocking. The current blanket block may frustrate legitimate service administration use cases.
Consider either removing blkid entirely or implementing subcommand-aware validation for systemctl to align with the tool's existing pattern (as seen with dd output file checks).

108-121:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 MajorConfirm: There is no upstream length validator. Long commands can bypass RawThreatRule pattern detection.
No upstream validator truncates or rejects commands exceeding
MAX_INPUT_LENGTH(10,000 chars). Returningnullfor oversized commands skips RawThreatRule's regex-based checks entirely. While some post-phase rules (e.g.,checkPipeToShell) catch certain threats after parsing, they operate on tokens and won't detect encoded payloads or raw patterns like encoded PowerShell commands or eval-pipe variations.Implement the proposed fail-closed behavior: block or flag commands exceeding the limit for manual review rather than silently bypassing security checks.

In `@src/integrations/templates.ts`:
- Around line 12-13: Escape the dollar sign in the template literal occurrences
so TypeScript doesn't treat shell expansions like ${SHELLSHIELD_SKIP,,} as JS
template interpolation; replace "${SHELLSHIELD_SKIP,,}" (and the other two
occurrences around lines 47 and 97) with "\${SHELLSHIELD_SKIP,,}" (and similarly
escape each ${...} sequence) inside the template strings where the shell
expansion must remain literal.
In `@src/parser/rules/CoreAstRule.ts`:
- Around line 234-248: The check currently normalizes nextCmd directly, allowing
variable-based commands (e.g. "$SHELL" or "${CMD}") to bypass the
dangerousCommands check; before calling normalizeCommandName use the parser's
vars lookup to resolve nextCmd into its expanded value (handle both $VAR and
${VAR} forms and fall back to the original if unresolved), then assign that
resolved string to nextCmd (or a new resolvedCmd) and call normalizeCommandName
on it; update the logic around remaining, opIdx, nextCmd, nextName and
dangerousCommands so the membership test uses the resolved/normalized name.
In `@src/parser/rules/RawThreatRule.ts`:
- Around line 54-60: The interpreter list in the two RegExp patterns (where
pattern is constructed with (?:${this.interpreters.join("|")}) in
RawThreatRule.ts) can match substrings like "sh" inside "ssh" causing false
positives; update both patterns to enforce word boundaries around the
interpreter token (e.g., wrap the interpreter alternation with \b...\b or
equivalent lookarounds) so only whole-word interpreters match while keeping the
rest of the pattern (commandFlags and DOWNLOAD_COMMANDS) unchanged.
- Around line 24-25: The interpreter regex in RawThreatRule.interpreters is too
permissive for versions with dots (e.g., "python3.11")—replace the plain
"python\\d*" and "php" (and other language entries that can include dotted
versions) with regexes that allow dot‑separated version segments, e.g.
"python\\d+(?:\\.\\d+)*", "php\\d+(?:\\.\\d+)*" (and similarly for "node",
"ruby", "perl", "bun" if you want to cover versioned binaries) while keeping
SHELL_INTERPRETERS included; ensure you escape backslashes in the string
literals (double backslashes) so the intended regex is used.

4-25:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 MajorCheck all command-bearing flags, not just the first.
Line 15–25:
findIndexstops at the first flag match, so if multiple command-bearing flags appear (e.g.,fish -C 'init' -c 'rm -rf /'or repeated-c), only the first command string is checked and the real payload can be missed.

Replace Number.parseInt with Number() to reject malformed config values.
Number.parseInt silently truncates decimals ("3.5" → 3) and accepts partial numeric strings ("10abc" → 10), bypassing the int() validation on lines 12–13. Use Number() instead so invalid strings become NaN and fail validation.

Exiting with code 0 on error silently masks failures.
When main() throws, the process exits with code 0 (success), which means the caller cannot distinguish a crash from a successful run. For a security tool, this is risky—if ShellShield crashes due to an unexpected error, the dangerous command may proceed unchecked because the shell hook sees a successful exit.
Consider using a non-zero exit code (e.g., process.exit(1)) to signal failure, or at minimum exit with 0 only for expected/handled cases.

Clarify or fix the bypass of context.blocked for non-destructive systemctl operations.
Non-destructive systemctl operations (e.g., systemctl status, systemctl list-units) currently bypass the context.blocked check by returning null at line 83 before reaching the blocklist evaluation at line 86. This means if users add systemctl to their blocked set, they cannot fully disable it for non-destructive subcommands.
Since systemctl is listed among dangerous commands, users should be able to enforce a complete blocklist if desired. Either ensure context.blocked takes precedence by moving this check earlier, or document that destructive-subcommand filtering is by design and overrides user blocklists.

Fail-open on oversized input bypasses pattern checks. Returning false for inputs exceeding MAX_INPUT_LENGTH (10000 characters) causes all threat patterns to fail silently, allowing large commands to pass through unchecked in RawThreatRule.ts. Consider failing closed (returning true) so oversized inputs are blocked rather than allowed.
🔒 Possible fail-closed adjustment
export function safeRegexTest(pattern: RegExp, input: string): boolean {
if (input.length > MAX_INPUT_LENGTH) {
- return false;
+ return true;
}
return pattern.test(input);

In `@src/security/patterns.ts` around lines 19 - 23, The safeRegexTest function
currently returns false for inputs longer than MAX_INPUT_LENGTH which lets
oversized inputs bypass threat checks; change safeRegexTest (and any callers in
RawThreatRule.ts) to fail-closed by returning true for inputs exceeding
MAX_INPUT_LENGTH so they are treated as matches/blocked; update the function
logic in safeRegexTest to check input.length > MAX_INPUT_LENGTH and return true
(optionally add a comment or logging to indicate oversized input was treated as
a match).
