…artScriptGenerator (#392) ## Summary Fixes a shell injection vulnerability in `JavaagentAwareStartScriptGenerator.Fake.write()` by adding platform-aware shell escaping for javaagent option strings. ## Changes Added proper escaping for agent option values to prevent malicious input from being interpreted as shell commands: - **Unix scripts**: Option values are wrapped in single quotes with internal single quotes escaped as `'\''` - **Windows scripts**: `%` characters are doubled to `%%` to prevent environment variable expansion ## Security Impact Previously, unescaped option strings passed to the javaagent could potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary shell commands. This fix ensures that special characters in option values are properly escaped for the target platform's shell interpreter. <!-- Macroscope (Fix It For Me) template starts here --> > [!NOTE] > ### Macroscope: _Fix It For Me_ > - This PR originated from [this comment](https://github.com/ryandens/javaagent-gradle-plugin/pull/379/files#r3641346092) in #379. > - Since auto-merge is on, Macroscope will merge this PR after waiting for checks to pass. > - If you'd rather not wait, you can always merge this yourself but **no further action from you is currently needed**. > - You can also @mention Macroscope in this PR to request further changes. > > #### Activity > Currently: <!-- Macroscope (Fix It For Me) current status starts here -->_Waiting on checks_<!-- Macroscope (Fix It For Me) current status ends here --> > > <details> > <summary>Previously</summary> > > <!-- Macroscope (Fix It For Me) previous status starts here --> > - Pushed 51d4603 > - Action failed: Validate > - Waiting on checks > - Pushed a62e381 > <!-- Macroscope (Fix It For Me) previous status ends here --> > > </details> ---- <!-- Macroscope (Fix It For Me) template ends here --> <!-- Macroscope's pull request summary starts here --> <!-- Macroscope will only edit the content between these invisible markers, and the markers themselves will not be visible in the GitHub rendered markdown. --> <!-- If you delete either of the start / end markers from your PR's description, Macroscope will append its summary at the bottom of the description. --> > [!NOTE] > ### Fix shell injection vulnerability in `JavaagentAwareStartScriptGenerator` by escaping option values > - On Unix, javaagent option values are wrapped in single quotes with internal single quotes escaped to prevent shell injection. > - On Windows, percent signs in option values are doubled to prevent variable expansion. > - The [`Writer`](https://github.com/ryandens/javaagent-gradle-plugin/pull/392/files#diff-b35a17536e95a01f0d06c07c9255cbcd47cfceeb6231638cda0393b65d70967b) now accepts a `platform` argument to apply the correct escaping strategy per OS. > - Behavioral Change: generated start scripts now quote javaagent option values, which changes the output format of `DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS` on Unix. > > <!-- Macroscope's review summary starts here --> > > <sup><a href="https://app.macroscope.com">Macroscope</a> summarized 51d4603.</sup> > <!-- Macroscope's review summary ends here --> > <!-- macroscope-ui-refresh --> <!-- Macroscope's pull request summary ends here --> --------- Co-authored-by: macroscopeapp[bot] <170038800+macroscopeapp[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
