fix: escape executable name in libnpmexec run-script#9467
Merged
Conversation
run() in libnpmexec wraps the executable name in double quotes before it becomes the npx script string, but double quotes still expand $(), backticks, $var and a closing quote, so a package whose bin key holds shell metacharacters breaks out once the name reaches sh -c. The bin name comes straight from a published package.json. Switch the non-Windows branch to single-quote escaping so the name is taken literally. (cherry picked from commit 6901bb1)
