cd override breaks for directories with spaces due to unquoted $*

[kristianmondelez]

Bug Description

The cd() override in scripts/env/cd fails when changing into directories that contain spaces in their path. The shell reports cd: too many arguments.

Root Cause

There are two locations where $* is used unquoted, causing word splitting on paths with spaces:

Line 23 - Definition of __gvm_oldcd:

eval "$(echo "__gvm_oldcd() { builtin cd \$*; return \$?; }")"

Line 49 - Invocation inside cd():

__gvm_oldcd $*

Steps to Reproduce

mkdir -p "/tmp/test dir with spaces"
cd "/tmp/test dir with spaces"
# Error: cd: too many arguments

Expected Behavior

cd "/tmp/test dir with spaces" should change into the directory successfully.

Proposed Fix

Replace the unquoted $* with quoted "$@" in both locations:

Line 23:

eval "$(echo "__gvm_oldcd() { builtin cd \"\$@\"; return \$?; }")"

Line 49:

__gvm_oldcd "$@"

Environment

• GVM version: 1.0.22
• OS: Linux (Ubuntu)
• Shell: Bash

Confirmed the proposed fix resolves the issue. After applying the changes to both lines, cd into directories with spaces works as expected without errors.
