Critical (9.8) in kill-process-by-name project kill-process-by-name. EPSS 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
This affects all versions of package kill-process-by-name. If (attacker-controlled) user input is given, it is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary commands. This is due to use of the child_process exec function without input sanitization in the index.js file.
