There is no fixed version for appium-desktop.

Overview

appium-desktop is a Graphical interface for the Appium server, and an app inspector

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection due to improper user-input sanitization by allowing an attacker to set-up a reverse shell.

Note: This library is deprecated and users should switch to Appium and the Appium Inspector instead.
