How to fix?

There is no fixed version for bwm-ng.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection due to improper input sanitization in the 'check' function in the bwm-ng.js file.

Note:

To execute the code snippet and potentially exploit the vulnerability, the attacker needs to have the ability to run Node.js code within the target environment. This typically requires some level of access to the system or application hosting the Node.js environment.

PoC

var check = require('bwm-ng').check;
function bwmCb(interface, downSpeed, upSpeed) {
}
check(bwmCb, ["enp3s0", "lo",";touch EXPLOITED;"]);
