CVE-2014-9682
The dns-sync module before 0.1.1 for node.js allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the first argument to the resolve API function.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.84%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
