GHSA-5g3j-89fr-r2vp

skilleton has improper input handling in repository/path processing

Quick fix

GHSA-5g3j-89fr-r2vp — skilleton: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install skilleton@0.3.1

Details

## Summary

`skilleton` versions prior to `0.3.1` include security-related weaknesses in repository normalization and path handling logic. Version `0.3.1` contains fixes and additional test coverage for these issues.

## Affected Versions

`<0.3.1`

## Patched Versions

`>=0.3.1`

## Impact

In affected versions, crafted input could trigger unsafe or inefficient behavior in repository/path processing code paths. `0.3.1` mitigates this by: - replacing vulnerable parsing behavior with deterministic logic, - validating subpaths earlier before allocating git worktree resources, - adding stricter and broader regression tests around these flows.

## Severity

Low to Moderate (project-maintainer assessed)

## Mitigation

Upgrade to `0.3.1` or later.

## Workarounds

No complete workaround is recommended other than upgrading.
