🎯 What: The vulnerability fixed
Fixed a command injection vulnerability in the commandExists function of packages/core/src/utils/editor.ts.

⚠️ Risk: The potential impact if left unfixed
An attacker could potentially execute arbitrary commands on the user's system by passing maliciously crafted strings as the cmd argument, exploiting the fact that execSync spawns a shell and interpolates the command directly into the shell string.

🛡️ Solution: How the fix addresses the vulnerability
The solution replaces execSync with execFileSync, which prevents the execution of a shell altogether. Arguments are now passed securely as an array, eliminating the risk of shell injection. For cross-platform support, the function now specifically checks process.platform === 'win32' and executes where.exe [cmd], otherwise it executes which [cmd] (since command -v is a shell built-in). Tests were updated accordingly.

Replaced `execSync` with `execFileSync` in `packages/core/src/utils/editor.ts` and passed arguments securely as an array to prevent command injection vulnerabilities. Switched from using `command -v` (which requires a shell) to `which` for Unix-like systems, while maintaining `where.exe` for Windows. Updated the corresponding tests in `packages/core/src/utils/editor.test.ts` to mock and assert `execFileSync` behavior. Fixed an import issue in `errors.test.ts` to ensure the test suite builds and runs successfully.
