system
Calls in PerlSafe Use of system
with a List:
system
with a list of arguments (system('echo', @ARGV)
), Perl directly passes these arguments to the exec
system call, which bypasses shell interpretation. This is inherently safe because there's no shell involved to interpret or expand the arguments. Each argument in the list is treated as a literal string without further processing.Risk with system
and String Interpolation:
system
with a string (system(join(' ', 'echo', @ARGV))
) invokes the shell (/bin/sh
by default) to parse the command string. This introduces all the vulnerabilities associated with shell command execution, including:@ARGV
contains untrusted user input, this could lead to arbitrary command execution, as the shell might interpret special characters or metacharacters in unexpected ways.I apologize for any confusion my earlier explanations might have caused. Your approach is indeed the correct one in this scenario, and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify this important distinction in Perl's system
function usage.
