Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via the SKY.satellites[].used field in GPS input data. An attacker can execute arbitrary operating system commands by injecting malicious content that is processed unsanitized in a heredoc data block, allowing early termination of the heredoc and appending gnuplot system() calls when the generated plot script is run in polar mode.
