🎯 What: The vulnerability fixed

Multiple unquoted path injection vulnerabilities in the Parallax dashboard pillars.

⚠️ Risk: The potential impact if left unfixed

If left unfixed, an attacker could achieve arbitrary command execution by tricking a user into registering a project with a malicious path or by creating files with malicious names in the workflow directory. Additionally, paths with spaces would break the functionality of various dashboard actions.

🛡️ Solution: How the fix addresses the vulnerability

The fix imports the shlex module and applies shlex.quote() to all variables (paths, names, etc.) that are used to construct shell command strings within the pillar modules. This ensures that all shell metacharacters are properly escaped or quoted, preventing command injection and ensuring robust handling of all file paths.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 116460371644669626 started by @samir-alsayad

This commit fixes multiple unquoted path injection vulnerabilities in the
Parallax dashboard pillars. By using `shlex.quote()`, we ensure that
variables interpolated into shell command strings are safely sanitized,
preventing command injection and handling paths with spaces correctly.
