How to fix?

There is no fixed version for keep-module-latest.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection due to missing input sanitization or other checks and sandboxes being employed to the installModule function.

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 root = require("keep-module-latest")
root({"moduleName":"& touch JHU"})
