  • Backward incompatible and security-related change to parsing "lookup" strings.

    This version restricts the supported syntax for bracketed "lookup"
    strings
    to fix a possible
    vulnerability (CVE-2020-7712). With a carefully crafted lookup string,
    command injection was possible. See
    #​144 for a repro. If you use
    json (the CLI or as a node.js module) and run arbitrary user-provided
    strings as a "lookup", then you should upgrade.

    For the json CLI, a "lookup" string is the 'foo' in:

      echo ...some json... | json foo
    

    which allows you to lookup fields on the given JSON, e.g.:

      $ echo '{"foo": {"bar": "baz"}}' | json foo.bar
      baz
    

    If one of the lookup fields isn't a valid JS identifier, then the JS array
    notation is supported:

      $ echo '{"https://example.com": "my-value"}' | json '["https://example.com"]'
      my-value
    

    Before this change, json would effectively exec the string between the
    brackets as JS code such that things like the following were possible:

      $ echo '{"foo3": "bar"}' | json '["foo" + 3]'
      bar
    

    This change limits supported bracket syntax in lookups to a simple quoted
    string:

      ["..."]
      ['...']
      [`...`]      # no variable interpolation
    

    Otherwise generating an error of the form:

      json: error: invalid bracketed lookup string: "[\"foo\" + 3]" (must be of the form ['...'], ["..."], or [`...`])
