Technical details
OliveTin's checkShellArgumentSafety() function fails to include 'regex:'-prefixed argument types in its blocklist of unsafe types for Shell mode actions. While typeSafetyCheckRegex() validates input against a pattern, it does not prevent shell metacharacters from being passed if the pattern allows them (e.g., POSIX command substitution like $()). The unvalidated value is interpolated directly into an 'sh -c' command string via Go's text/template without escaping. An attacker can exploit this to achieve remote code execution as the OliveTin process user. This is patched in version 3000.17.0 (commit 995ff79).
