How to fix?

Upgrade systeminformation to version 5.30.8 or higher.

Overview

systeminformation is a simple system and OS information library.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the wifiNetworks() function. Although the iface parameter is sanitized, it is passed unsanitized to execSync() when a timeout triggers a retry. An attacker can execute arbitrary operating system commands by supplying crafted input to the iface parameter.
