Summary

Roo Code through 3.54.0 contains a command injection vulnerability in the auto-approve execute feature that allows attackers to bypass allowlist/denylist enforcement by nesting command substitutions inside parameter expansion defaults. The command parser in parse-command.ts replaces parameter expansions with opaque placeholders before extracting command substitutions, causing the containsDangerousSubstitution guard to miss nested payloads, which are then auto-approved based on the outer allowlisted command prefix and executed by the shell via execa, enabling arbitrary command execution.
