How to fix?

Upgrade chrome-devtools-frontend to version 1.0.1510180 or higher.

Overview

chrome-devtools-frontend is a Chrome DevTools UI

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization due to insufficient sanitization of special whitespace characters in the escapeStringWin function. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious input containing special whitespace characters (e.g., tabs, vertical tabs) that are treated as delimiters by the Windows command prompt.

Note: Successful exploitation requires the user to copy and run the contents of the "Copy as cURL" output, which results in command injection.
