systeminformation is vulnerable to Command Injection
70
High Risk
This Affects:
systeminformationTL;DR
In v5.31.7, the networkInterfaces() implementation on Linux fixed an unsanitized command injection issue caused by constructing and executing a shell command with execSync (including attacker-influencable file). The patch removes shell execution and reads the target file directly in-process, preventing command injection.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and if you use the networkInterfaces() function on Linux.
Background info
systeminformation is vulnerable to Command Injection in versions 4.17.0 - 5.31.6.
How to fix this
Upgrade the systeminformation library to the patch version.
