CWE-327_armis-cli_38295677_internal/auth/auth.go_309_2_309_125 - Cryptography Failures (CWE-327

Location: internal/auth/auth.go:309

Use of Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm): The function parseJWTClaims (line 309) decodes the JWT payload without verifying the signature. This omission means the code trusts data that could be forged, matching CWE‑327 (use of a risky cryptographic practice). The JWT token originates from an external authentication service accessed over HTTP, so an attacker who can influence that response could supply a malicious token that the CLI would accept without validation. The vulnerable decode operation is reachable through the token flow: exchangeCredentials obtains the token via AuthClient.Authenticate and passes it to parseJWTClaims. Because the flaw is in the same functional flow as line 309 and directly concerns missing signature verification, the finding is a true positive. The exposure is rated 6 since the data comes from a network‑accessible service, leading to a high likelihood of exploitation.

CWE-522_armis-cli_38295677_internal/auth/auth.go_173_3_173_95 - Insecure Design (CWE-522

Location: internal/auth/auth.go:173

Insufficiently Protected Credentials): The GetRawToken method returns the raw authentication token stored in p.config.Token when legacy (Basic) authentication is used. This value originates from configuration supplied by the user (e.g., command‑line flag or environment variable) and is passed directly to the caller without any masking, encryption, or additional protection. Consequently, the method exposes sensitive credentials in clear text, matching the definition of CWE‑522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials. The token can be accessed by any code that invokes this method, and because the function may be used to print the token to stdout, it can be observed by other processes on the same host. The vulnerability is confined to internal script‑to‑script interaction, giving it an exposure level of 5 and a low likelihood of exploitation in the absence of external access, but it still constitutes a true positive for the reported CWE.

Code snippet is redacted as it contains secrets.

CWE-22_armis-cli_38295677_internal/output/human.go_394_3_394_55 - Broken Access Control (CWE-22

Location: internal/output/human.go:394

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')): The function loadSnippetFromFile builds a file path from finding.File, which originates from scan results and is therefore external input. When repoPath is empty, the code calls util.SanitizePath(finding.File) and then opens the resulting path with os.Open. The comment notes that SanitizePath is intended to reject ".." components, but the implementation is external and its correctness cannot be verified from the snippet. If SanitizePath fails to properly filter traversal sequences, an attacker could supply a path like "../../etc/passwd" and cause the program to read arbitrary files from the filesystem. This constitutes an improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory (CWE‑22). The vulnerability is reachable because the tainted file name flows directly to the file‑open operation without a proven sanitizer, and the CLI tool exposing this functionality is an internal management interface, giving it a moderate exposure level. Consequently, the finding is a true positive for CWE‑22.

CWEs: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CWE-23_armis-cli_38295677_internal/util/path.go_91_2_91_14 - Broken Access Control (CWE-23

Location: internal/util/path.go:91

Relative Path Traversal): The function SafeJoinPath receives relativePath from a caller, which can be attacker‑controlled. It joins this path with a validated base directory but never resolves symlinks that may be present inside relativePath. The final containment check uses filepath.Rel on the raw joined path, so a symlink inside the base directory that points outside will appear to stay within the base and pass the check. An attacker who can place such a symlink (e.g., via prior write access) can cause the function to return a path that leads outside the intended directory, enabling a relative path traversal. Because the function is part of a CLI utility, it can be invoked directly by external users, giving it immediate external exposure. This makes the vulnerability exploitable and a true positive for CWE‑23.

CWEs: CWE-23: Relative Path Traversal

CWE-22_armis-cli_38295677_internal/util/path.go_30_2_30_83 - Broken Access Control (CWE-22

Location: internal/util/path.go:30

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')): The SanitizePath function checks for empty strings and for the literal ".." segment, but it never rejects absolute paths. An attacker can supply a path such as "/etc/passwd"; the function will consider it valid, clean it with filepath.Clean, and return the absolute filename. Because the function is intended to limit paths to a restricted directory, allowing absolute paths defeats that restriction and constitutes a CWE‑22 path‑traversal issue. No user‑defined sanitizers intervene, and the only operation performed on the input is the standard library filepath.Clean. Based solely on the provided code, there is no evidence that this function is directly exposed to external interfaces, so the exposure level is assessed as 0 (not externally reachable). Nonetheless, the flaw exists, making the finding a true positive for CWE‑22.

CWE-22_armis-cli_38295677_scripts/install.ps1_168_5_168_48 - Broken Access Control (CWE-22

Location: scripts/install.ps1:168

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')): The script accepts an -InstallDir argument from the user. It normalizes this path with [System.IO.Path]::GetFullPath, which resolves any .. segments before the regex check at line 168. Because the normalization removes the .. patterns, the subsequent regex ('(^|\\)\.\.($|\\)') never matches, allowing a crafted path that traverses outside the intended directory to pass the validation. The tainted InstallDir value is then used directly in filesystem operations such as New-Item and Copy-Item, enabling an attacker to write files to arbitrary locations. This constitutes an exploitable CWE‑22 path traversal vulnerability. The vulnerability is exposed through a command‑line interface, which is a user‑facing entry point, giving it an exposure level of 6 and a high likelihood of exploitation.

CWE-78_armis-cli_38295677_internal/cmd/scan_repo.go_133_4_133_55 - Injection (CWE-78

Location: internal/cmd/scan_repo.go:133

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')): The --changed flag value (changedRef) is supplied by the user at runtime and is stored directly in the global variable changedRef. When the flag is used, the code builds a repo.ChangedOptions struct that includes changedRef as the Ref field (line 130‑131) and passes this struct to repo.GitChangedFiles (line 133). No validation, sanitization, or escaping of changedRef is performed before it reaches GitChangedFiles, which is documented to construct and execute Git commands using the provided reference. Consequently, an attacker controlling the flag value can inject malicious shell characters or commands that will be executed by the underlying Git command, resulting in OS command injection (CWE‑78). This vulnerability is reachable from the user‑controlled input to the command‑execution sink, and there are no intervening sanitizers. The issue is exposed through a command‑line interface, which can be invoked by scripts or other local processes, giving it a script‑to‑script interaction exposure level. An attacker who can run the CLI with a crafted --changed value can execute arbitrary commands on the host where the tool runs.

CWE-20_armis-cli_38295677_internal/cmd/scan_image.go_120_4_120_107 - Injection (CWE-20

Location: internal/cmd/scan_image.go:120

Improper Input Validation): The command-line argument args[0] (the image name) is taken directly from user input and passed to scanner.ScanImage without any validation or sanitization in the shown code. This constitutes improper input validation (CWE-20). An attacker who can control the CLI arguments can supply a crafted image name that may trigger unexpected behavior in the scanning component, potentially leading to command injection or other misuse depending on how ScanImage processes the name. The taint source (CLI argument) reaches the sink (ScanImage) with no intervening sanitizers, making the vulnerability exploitable. Because the tool is invoked via a user‑facing command-line interface, the exposure level is classified as high (≥6), resulting in a high likelihood of exploitation.

CWE-522_armis-cli_38295677_internal/auth/client.go_111_2_111_116 - Insecure Design (CWE-522

Location: internal/auth/client.go:111

Insufficiently Protected Credentials): The Authenticate function builds a JSON body that includes the client secret and sends it with an HTTP POST request. The client enforces HTTPS only for non‑localhost URLs; for localhost it permits plain HTTP. Consequently, when the base URL is an insecure HTTP address (e.g., http://localhost), the secret is transmitted without additional protection beyond the transport layer, matching CWE‑522. The secret originates from the function arguments, flows through json.Marshal, and reaches the network request made by httpClient.Do, with no sanitization in between. This creates a reachable taint path that can expose credentials to anyone able to intercept the local network traffic. The vulnerability is exposed through a network‑accessible authentication endpoint, giving it an exposure rating of 6 and a high likelihood of exploitation.

Code snippet is redacted as it contains secrets.

CWEs: CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials

CWE-22_armis-cli_38295677_internal/scan/repo/repo.go_78_2_78_99 - Broken Access Control (CWE-22

Location: internal/scan/repo/repo.go:78

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (Path Traversal)): The Scan method receives a path argument that can be supplied by a caller (e.g., a CLI user). This argument is a taint source. The code calls util.SanitizePath(path) but discards the sanitized result, only checking for an error. Afterwards it uses the original path value with filepath.Abs, os.Stat, and later file‑reading operations. If util.SanitizePath does not reject a crafted path containing ../ sequences, the original malicious path will be used, allowing an attacker to traverse directories and cause the scanner to read files outside the intended repository. This matches CWE‑22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory). The vulnerability is reachable, and because the function can be invoked from a command‑line interface, it is exposed to external users (exposure level 3). Consequently, the finding is a true positive.

CWEs: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (Path Traversal)

CWE-522_armis-cli_38295677_internal/cmd/auth.go_66_2_66_86 - Insecure Design (CWE-522

Location: internal/cmd/auth.go:66

Insufficiently Protected Credentials): The runAuth function obtains a JWT token via provider.GetRawToken and then prints the raw token directly to standard output with fmt.Println(token). This output can be captured by shell history, logs, or other processes, exposing the credential without protection. The token originates from a sensitive source (the authentication provider) and reaches an insecure sink (stdout) without any sanitization or masking, making the credential reachable to an attacker who can observe the CLI output. Because the command is a CLI tool, the exposure is classified as script-to-script interaction (level 5), leading to a low likelihood of exploitation but a high severity due to the nature of the leaked credential.

Code snippet is redacted as it contains secrets.

CWEs: CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials

CWE-22_armis-cli_38295677_internal/scan/repo/gitchanges.go_217_2_217_82 - Broken Access Control (CWE-22

Location: internal/scan/repo/gitchanges.go:217

Path Traversal): The function filterToScanPath is intended to block traversal by rejecting a prefix of ".." or any path that begins with "../". However, when the caller supplies a scan path that is exactly the repository root, the function returns the list of changed files unchanged (lines 206‑208). No further validation of the individual file paths is performed, so a malicious entry such as "../secret" can pass through to ParseFileList, which later uses those paths without additional checks. Because the list of changed files originates from the repository and can be influenced by an attacker who can add files with crafted names, the tainted data reaches the sink. This constitutes a classic CWE‑22 Path Traversal flaw within the same code region that includes line 217. An attacker who can cause a repository to contain a path like "../secret" would be able to cause the program to access files outside the intended directory tree. The vulnerability is internal to the library (not exposed via a network endpoint), but it can be triggered by a script or another component that supplies the scan path, giving it a moderate exposure level.

CWEs: CWE-22: Path Traversal

CWE-209_armis-cli_38295677_internal/cmd/context.go_42_2_42_102 - Insecure Design (CWE-209

Location: internal/cmd/context.go:42

Information Exposure Through an Error Message): The function handleScanError returns a wrapped error with the original error message included (fmt.Errorf("scan failed: %w", err)). This error is later presented to the CLI user, revealing internal details about why the scan failed. Even though the comment notes that the output is only shown to a local user, the CLI is a user‑facing interface, so the information exposure is immediate and external. An attacker or any user running the tool can see internal error information that may aid in further exploitation or debugging of the system. No sanitization is applied to the original error before it is included in the message, making the exposure reachable. Consequently, the finding matches CWE‑209 and is a true positive.

CWE-918_armis-cli_38295677_internal/httpclient/client.go_75_3_75_99 - Server-Side Request Forgery (CWE-918

Location: internal/httpclient/client.go:75

Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)): The Do method accepts an *http.Request and forwards it directly to c.httpClient.Do(req) without any validation or sanitization of the request's URL. If an attacker can influence the URL field of the request—such as through an upstream API endpoint that builds the request from user‑supplied data—the server will issue an arbitrary outbound HTTP request. This matches the definition of CWE‑918 (Server Side Request Forgery). No sanitizing functions are applied in the data flow, so the tainted URL reaches the network request sink. The function is part of an internal client library, so the issue is not directly exposed to the public internet but can be triggered by any component that passes a request to it, giving it a moderate likelihood of exploitation.

CWE-770_armis-cli_38295677_internal/progress/progress.go_136_3_136_21 - The spinner implementation allows a caller to create it with a timeout value of 0 via `NewSpinnerWithTimeout`

Location: internal/progress/progress.go:136

The spinner implementation allows a caller to create it with a timeout value of 0 via NewSpinnerWithTimeout. When the timeout is 0, the Start method builds a context without a deadline, so the internal goroutine runs indefinitely until Stop is called or the context is cancelled. If the caller never invokes Stop and does not cancel the context, the goroutine leaks, consuming unbounded resources. This matches CWE‑770: allocation of resources without limits or throttling. The functionality is reachable from a user‑facing command‑line interface, giving an external attacker the ability to trigger the leak by supplying a zero timeout, leading to potential denial‑of‑service through resource exhaustion.

CWE-427_armis-cli_38295677_scripts/install.ps1_269_21_269_58 - The installer accepts an `-InstallDir` argument, which is user‑controlled

Location: scripts/install.ps1:269

The installer accepts an -InstallDir argument, which is user‑controlled. After basic normalization, the script validates that the directory resides under one of several known user locations (e.g., %LOCALAPPDATA%). It then uses this directory to update the user's PATH variable via [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable. Because the path element originates from user input and the only check is that it starts with a safe base folder, an attacker can influence the exact directory that gets added to PATH. This allows a malicious executable placed in that directory to be found before legitimate system binaries, leading to potential code execution. The flow from the input parameter to the SetEnvironmentVariable call is direct, with no effective sanitization beyond the base‑folder check, making the vulnerability exploitable. The modification affects an environment variable, giving it an exposure rating of 4 and a corresponding likelihood of 5.

CWE-252_armis-cli_38295677_internal/cmd/context.go_38_3_38_36 - The function `handleScanError` calls `fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "")` and discards both the number of bytes written and the error return value

The function handleScanError calls fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "") and discards both the number of bytes written and the error return value. Ignoring the error means that a failure to write to the standard error stream (e.g., when stderr is redirected to a closed pipe or a full disk) will go unnoticed, and the program will continue without informing the user that the cancellation message could not be displayed. This matches CWE‑252: Unchecked Return Value. The code does not involve any external input or network exposure; it operates locally within a CLI tool, so the vulnerability is considered low exposure (static, internal usage). Consequently, the likelihood of exploitation is low, but the issue is a true positive because the unchecked return value is present.

CWEs: CWE-252: Unchecked Return Value

The CWE-367 fix added filepath.EvalSymlinks which resolves symlinks
before validation. This broke two test expectations:

1. Non-existent path error message changed from "cannot access" to
   "cannot resolve" since EvalSymlinks now fails first.

2. On macOS /var -> /private/var and on Windows short names get
   expanded, so the test must compare against the resolved base path.

Insecure Design (CWE-209: Information Exposure Through an Error Message) High

Insecure Design (CWE-209: Information Exposure Through an Error Message): The function handleScanError returns a wrapped error with the original error message included (fmt.Errorf("scan failed: %w", err)). This error is later presented to the CLI user, revealing internal details about why the scan failed. Even though the comment notes that the output is only shown to a local user, the CLI is a user‑facing interface, so the information exposure is immediate and external. An attacker or any user running the tool can see internal error information that may aid in further exploitation or debugging of the system. No sanitization is applied to the original error before it is included in the message, making the exposure reachable. Consequently, the finding matches CWE‑209 and is a true positive.

Insecure Design (CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials) High

Insecure Design (CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials): The GetRawToken method returns the raw authentication token stored in p.config.Token when legacy (Basic) authentication is used. This value originates from configuration supplied by the user (e.g., command‑line flag or environment variable) and is passed directly to the caller without any masking, encryption, or additional protection. Consequently, the method exposes sensitive credentials in clear text, matching the definition of CWE‑522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials. The token can be accessed by any code that invokes this method, and because the function may be used to print the token to stdout, it can be observed by other processes on the same host. The vulnerability is confined to internal script‑to‑script interaction, giving it an exposure level of 5 and a low likelihood of exploitation in the absence of external access, but it still constitutes a true positive for the reported CWE.

Cryptography Failures (CWE-327: Use of Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm) High

Cryptography Failures (CWE-327: Use of Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm): The function parseJWTClaims (line 309) decodes the JWT payload without verifying the signature. This omission means the code trusts data that could be forged, matching CWE‑327 (use of a risky cryptographic practice). The JWT token originates from an external authentication service accessed over HTTP, so an attacker who can influence that response could supply a malicious token that the CLI would accept without validation. The vulnerable decode operation is reachable through the token flow: exchangeCredentials obtains the token via AuthClient.Authenticate and passes it to parseJWTClaims. Because the flaw is in the same functional flow as line 309 and directly concerns missing signature verification, the finding is a true positive. The exposure is rated 6 since the data comes from a network‑accessible service, leading to a high likelihood of exploitation.

Insecure Design (CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials) High

Insecure Design (CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials): The Authenticate function builds a JSON body that includes the client secret and sends it with an HTTP POST request. The client enforces HTTPS only for non‑localhost URLs; for localhost it permits plain HTTP. Consequently, when the base URL is an insecure HTTP address (e.g., http://localhost), the secret is transmitted without additional protection beyond the transport layer, matching CWE‑522. The secret originates from the function arguments, flows through json.Marshal, and reaches the network request made by httpClient.Do, with no sanitization in between. This creates a reachable taint path that can expose credentials to anyone able to intercept the local network traffic. The vulnerability is exposed through a network‑accessible authentication endpoint, giving it an exposure rating of 6 and a high likelihood of exploitation.

Insecure Design (CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials) High

Insecure Design (CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials): The runAuth function obtains a JWT token via provider.GetRawToken and then prints the raw token directly to standard output with fmt.Println(token). This output can be captured by shell history, logs, or other processes, exposing the credential without protection. The token originates from a sensitive source (the authentication provider) and reaches an insecure sink (stdout) without any sanitization or masking, making the credential reachable to an attacker who can observe the CLI output. Because the command is a CLI tool, the exposure is classified as script-to-script interaction (level 5), leading to a low likelihood of exploitation but a high severity due to the nature of the leaked credential.

Injection (CWE-20: Improper Input Validation) High

Injection (CWE-20: Improper Input Validation): The command-line argument args[0] (the image name) is taken directly from user input and passed to scanner.ScanImage without any validation or sanitization in the shown code. This constitutes improper input validation (CWE-20). An attacker who can control the CLI arguments can supply a crafted image name that may trigger unexpected behavior in the scanning component, potentially leading to command injection or other misuse depending on how ScanImage processes the name. The taint source (CLI argument) reaches the sink (ScanImage) with no intervening sanitizers, making the vulnerability exploitable. Because the tool is invoked via a user‑facing command-line interface, the exposure level is classified as high (≥6), resulting in a high likelihood of exploitation.

Broken Access Control (CWE-22: Path Traversal) High

Broken Access Control (CWE-22: Path Traversal): The function filterToScanPath is intended to block traversal by rejecting a prefix of ".." or any path that begins with "../". However, when the caller supplies a scan path that is exactly the repository root, the function returns the list of changed files unchanged (lines 206‑208). No further validation of the individual file paths is performed, so a malicious entry such as "../secret" can pass through to ParseFileList, which later uses those paths without additional checks. Because the list of changed files originates from the repository and can be influenced by an attacker who can add files with crafted names, the tainted data reaches the sink. This constitutes a classic CWE‑22 Path Traversal flaw within the same code region that includes line 217. An attacker who can cause a repository to contain a path like "../secret" would be able to cause the program to access files outside the intended directory tree. The vulnerability is internal to the library (not exposed via a network endpoint), but it can be triggered by a script or another component that supplies the scan path, giving it a moderate exposure level.
func (s *Scanner) Scan(ctx context.Context, path string) (*model.ScanResult, error) {
// Validate path to prevent path traversal

Broken Access Control (CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (Path Traversal)) High

Broken Access Control (CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (Path Traversal)): The Scan method receives a path argument that can be supplied by a caller (e.g., a CLI user). This argument is a taint source. The code calls util.SanitizePath(path) but discards the sanitized result, only checking for an error. Afterwards it uses the original path value with filepath.Abs, os.Stat, and later file‑reading operations. If util.SanitizePath does not reject a crafted path containing ../ sequences, the original malicious path will be used, allowing an attacker to traverse directories and cause the scanner to read files outside the intended repository. This matches CWE‑22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory). The vulnerability is reachable, and because the function can be invoked from a command‑line interface, it is exposed to external users (exposure level 3). Consequently, the finding is a true positive.

Broken Access Control (CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')) High

Broken Access Control (CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')): The SanitizePath function checks for empty strings and for the literal ".." segment, but it never rejects absolute paths. An attacker can supply a path such as "/etc/passwd"; the function will consider it valid, clean it with filepath.Clean, and return the absolute filename. Because the function is intended to limit paths to a restricted directory, allowing absolute paths defeats that restriction and constitutes a CWE‑22 path‑traversal issue. No user‑defined sanitizers intervene, and the only operation performed on the input is the standard library filepath.Clean. Based solely on the provided code, there is no evidence that this function is directly exposed to external interfaces, so the exposure level is assessed as 0 (not externally reachable). Nonetheless, the flaw exists, making the finding a true positive for CWE‑22.

The installer accepts an `-InstallDir` argument, which is user‑controlled Medium

The installer accepts an -InstallDir argument, which is user‑controlled: The installer accepts an -InstallDir argument, which is user‑controlled. After basic normalization, the script validates that the directory resides under one of several known user locations (e.g., %LOCALAPPDATA%). It then uses this directory to update the user's PATH variable via [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable. Because the path element originates from user input and the only check is that it starts with a safe base folder, an attacker can influence the exact directory that gets added to PATH. This allows a malicious executable placed in that directory to be found before legitimate system binaries, leading to potential code execution. The flow from the input parameter to the SetEnvironmentVariable call is direct, with no effective sanitization beyond the base‑folder check, making the vulnerability exploitable. The modification affects an environment variable, giving it an exposure rating of 4 and a corresponding likelihood of 5.

The function `handleScanError` calls `fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "")` and discards both the number of bytes written and the error return value Low

The function handleScanError calls fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "") and discards both the number of bytes written and the error return value: The function handleScanError calls fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "") and discards both the number of bytes written and the error return value. Ignoring the error means that a failure to write to the standard error stream (e.g., when stderr is redirected to a closed pipe or a full disk) will go unnoticed, and the program will continue without informing the user that the cancellation message could not be displayed. This matches CWE‑252: Unchecked Return Value. The code does not involve any external input or network exposure; it operates locally within a CLI tool, so the vulnerability is considered low exposure (static, internal usage). Consequently, the likelihood of exploitation is low, but the issue is a true positive because the unchecked return value is present.
