- Add smart tsconfig detection with priority-based resolution
- Implement comprehensive fallback configuration for backwards compatibility
- Fix critical edge cases in TypeScript compilation workflow
- Add robust error handling for invalid/missing tsconfig files
- Preserve all original command-line parameters in standalone mode
- Fix duplicate TypeScript compilation execution issue
- Enhance cross-platform compatibility (Windows/Unix)
- Add comprehensive unit tests with 99%+ coverage

Key improvements:
• Smart tsconfig path resolution (user-specified → local → parent → root)
• Graceful fallback to standalone config when no tsconfig exists
• Enhanced error handling with proper cleanup of temporary files
• Fixed Node.js compatibility by removing optional chaining operator
• Comprehensive test suite covering all edge cases and error scenarios

This ensures the CLI works reliably both with and without user-provided
tsconfig files while maintaining complete backwards compatibility.

Shell command built from environment values Medium

This shell command depends on an uncontrolled
absolute path
.

Copilot Autofix

AI about 8 hours ago

To fix the problem, we should avoid constructing a shell command string and passing it to cp.execSync, which invokes a shell and interprets the string. Instead, we should use cp.execFileSync (or cp.spawnSync) and pass the command and its arguments as separate parameters. This ensures that all arguments are passed directly to the executable, without shell interpretation, preventing command injection and issues with spaces or special characters in paths.

Specifically, in generateTscCommandAndTempTsConfig, instead of returning a shell command string, we should return an object describing the command and its arguments (e.g., { command, args, env }). In convertTsConfig, we should use cp.execFileSync to run the command, passing the arguments and environment variables as needed. We need to handle both Windows and Unix-like platforms, as the way to set environment variables differs.

The changes are limited to the code shown in bin/helpers/readCypressConfigUtil.js, specifically in the generateTscCommandAndTempTsConfig and convertTsConfig functions. We may need to add some helper logic to set environment variables appropriately for each platform.

Semgrep Finding: javascript.lang.security.audit.detect-non-literal-regexp.detect-non-literal-regexp Warning

RegExp() called with a excludePatterns function argument, this might allow an attacker to cause a Regular Expression Denial-of-Service (ReDoS) within your application as RegExP blocks the main thread. For this reason, it is recommended to use hardcoded regexes instead. If your regex is run on user-controlled input, consider performing input validation or use a regex checking/sanitization library such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/recheck to verify that the regex does not appear vulnerable to ReDoS.
