Protections against command line security vulnerabilities

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for securing the use of command line entries, the operations comprising:

• invoking, by a main process, a secondary process in a computing environment in a suspended mode;
• providing one or more placeholder command line entry to the secondary process;
• retrieving at least one secret by the main process;
• and
• storing an operable command line entry in a memory location associated with the secondary process, wherein the one or more placeholder command line entry is nullified;
• wherein the secondary process is configured to process the operable command line entry and use the at least one secret.
