Doc Text:
A flaw was found in bahmutov find-cypress-specs. A local attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the Branch Handler component by manipulating the '--branch' argument. This manipulation leads to an operating system (OS) command injection, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system. This could result in unauthorized access, modification, or disruption of data and system resources.
