Overview
systeminformation is a simple system and OS information library.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection through the getWindowsIEEE8021x() function. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the system by injecting malicious commands into an SSID and convincing a user to connect to it. The function then passes this value to the command line without proper sanitization.
Note: This is only exploitable on Windows.
