Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability explicitly affects the templating functionality of 'list' and 'monitor' commands. While the JSON template function was already safe, the advisory states that raw template output remained unescaped. The addition of a new 'shellSanitize' template function in patches indicates that the default raw output path lacked proper sanitization. Though exact function names aren't provided in available data, the core issue resides in the template rendering logic for these commands when handling untrusted input from remote endpoints.
