If (attacker-controlled) user input is given to the killProcess function, it is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
HIGH 8.8EPSS 1.82%
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.82%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
This affects the package portprocesses before 1.0.5. If (attacker-controlled) user input is given to the killProcess function, it is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary commands. This is due to use of the child_process exec function without input sanitization.
