How to fix?

Upgrade consoleme to version 1.4.0 or higher.

Overview

consoleme is an A central control plane for AWS permissions and access

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') via the command process. A specific flag allows authenticated users to read any server files accessible by the ConsoleMe process. Given ConsoleMe's role as an AWS identity broker, accessing files containing secrets on the server could potentially be exploited for privilege escalation.

Note:

Deployments of ConsoleMe that allow templated resources are impacted and urged to patch immediately. Deployments that do not permit templated resources are not affected.
