Hugo 0.162.0 added tailwindcss to the AllowChildProcess default in config/security/securityConfig.go, which makes nodePermissionArgs in common/hexec/exec.go append --allow-child-process whenever the tool being launched is named tailwindcss. TailwindCSS loads the site's tailwind.config.js through require at startup, so top-level code in that file executes inside the permitted Node process and can call child_process to spawn a shell. The spawned process is not a Node process and inherits none of the permission flags, so it runs with the full privileges of the account performing the build. Building a site whose theme, module, or starter template supplies the Tailwind configuration therefore yields arbitrary command execution rather than the confined file access the permission model was introduced to enforce. Hugo 0.165.0 removes tailwindcss from the default security.exec.allow list, so the tool is no longer launched under the default configuration."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "Hugo 0.161.0 coloc\u00f3 las tuber\u00edas de activos de Node detr\u00e1s del modelo de permisos de Node.js para que el c\u00f3digo que se ejecuta a trav\u00e9s de PostCSS, Babel o TailwindCSS no pudiera acceder al sistema de archivos fuera del directorio del proyecto.

TailwindCSS carga el archivo tailwind.config.js del sitio a trav\u00e9s de require al inicio, por lo que el c\u00f3digo de nivel superior en ese archivo se ejecuta dentro del proceso Node permitido y puede llamar a child_process para generar un shell. El proceso generado no es un proceso Node y no hereda ninguna de las banderas de permiso, por lo que se ejecuta con todos los privilegios de la cuenta que realiza la compilaci\u00f3n. La compilaci\u00f3n de un sitio cuyo tema, m\u00f3dulo o plantilla de inicio proporciona la configuraci\u00f3n de Tailwind, por lo tanto, produce la ejecuci\u00f3n arbitraria de comandos en lugar del acceso confinado a archivos que el modelo de permisos fue introducido para hacer cumplir.
