🛡️ Sentinel: Fix OS Command Injection Risk in Clipboard Copy Utility

  • 🚨 Severity: HIGH
  • 💡 Vulnerability: src/cli/copy.ts previously used execSync(program) where program was passed as a command string (e.g., 'xclip -selection clipboard'). Executing subprocesses with execSync invokes shell command execution by default, introducing command injection vectors and shell subshell overhead.
  • 🔧 Fix: Replaced execSync with execFileSync(config.cmd, config.args, { input: str }), invoking pbcopy, clip, or xclip directly with argument arrays without spawning a shell interpreter ({ shell: false }).
  • ✅ Verification: Added unit tests in test/jest/unit/cli/copy.spec.ts covering macOS (darwin), Linux (linux), Windows (win32), and unsupported OS fallback behaviors. Verified with npx jest test/jest/unit/cli/copy.spec.ts and npm run lint:js.

Execute clipboard utilities directly via execFileSync with argument arrays
instead of spawning shell subshells via execSync to mitigate OS command
injection vulnerabilities.
