CVE-2024-52011
launch-editor allows users to open files with line numbers in editor from Node.js.
Impact
launch-editor allows users to open files with line numbers in editor from Node.js. Prior to version 2.9.0, due to the insufficient sanitization of the `file` argument in the `launchEditor`, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on Windows by supplying a filename that contains special characters. This issue has been fixed in the `launch-editor` version 2.9.0, corresponding to vite version 5.4.9.

| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
