CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 1.34%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.34%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

This affects all versions of package portkiller. If (attacker-controlled) user input is given, it is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary commands. This is due to use of the child_process exec function without input sanitization.
