Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories. There is absolutely no guarantee that the repository URL declared by the crate belongs to the crate, or that the code in the repository is the code inside the published tarball.
To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open shell-escape
. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of shell-escape v0.1.5 or view the source online.
This small crate implements Windows-style and Unix-style shell escaping. Its not clear which exactly are the supported shells, so its hard to guarantee the escaping is safe for all possible ones (although it looks fine for all common shells).
A second worry is the runtime detection of the current shell, where an environment variabe (MSYSTEM) can be used to change the escaping style to Unix. For users of the crate, if the environment is known, I would recommend explicitly specifying it, instead of relying on the detection.
The exposed functions have the signature Cow -> Cow. It would seem that &str -> Cow is more natural.
I do not know if character encodings play a role, here, and if str is the correct type to be working with.
