NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream node-shell-quote package and not the node-shell-quote package as distributed by Debian.

The npm module "shell-quote" 1.6.0 and earlier cannot correctly escape ">" and "<" operator used for redirection in shell. Applications that depend on shell-quote may also be vulnerable. A malicious user could perform code injection.
