== Sensitive Code Example

Arguments like `-delete` or `-exec` for the `find` command can alter the expected behavior and result in vulnerabilities:
----
const { spawn } = require("child_process");
const input = req.query.input;
const proc = spawn("/usr/bin/find", [input]); // Sensitive
----

== Compliant Solution

Use an allow-list to restrict the arguments to trusted values:
[source,javascript]
----
const { spawn } = require("child_process");
const input = req.query.input;
if (allowed.includes(input)) {
  const proc = spawn("/usr/bin/find", [input]);
}
----
