Description
Roo Code is an AI-powered autonomous coding agent that lives in users' editors. Versions 3.25.23 and below contain a default list of allowed commands that do not need manual approval if auto-approve is enabled, and npm install is included in that list. Because npm install executes lifecycle scripts, if a repository’s package.json file contains a malicious postinstall script, it would be executed automatically without user approval. This means that enabling auto-approved commands and opening a malicious repo could result in arbitrary code execution. This is fixed in version 3.26.0.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Roo Code versions 3.25.23 and below, where a default list of allowed commands can be auto-approved without manual user approval if auto-approve is enabled. The command 'npm install' is included in this list, and since 'npm install' executes lifecycle scripts, a malicious postinstall script in a repository's package.json file could be executed automatically without user approval. This can lead to arbitrary code execution when opening a malicious repository.

Impact Analysis

If you enable auto-approved commands and open a malicious repository, this vulnerability could allow arbitrary code execution on your system without your explicit approval. This means an attacker could run malicious scripts on your machine, potentially leading to system compromise, data loss, or unauthorized access.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately upgrade Roo Code to version 3.26.0 or later, which fixes the issue. Additionally, disable the auto-approve feature for commands, especially for 'npm install', to prevent automatic execution of potentially malicious lifecycle scripts when opening repositories.
