Overview
systeminformation is a simple system and OS information library.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the versions() function, which executes a locate command to find a PostgreSQL installation on Linux. An attacker who can write files to the target filesystem can execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the running process by planting a file whose name contains shell metacharacters. The attacker must have sufficient permissions to write files in directories indexed by updatedb.
