CVE-2021-23360

8.8 highEPSS 2.3%

High (8.8) in killport project killport. EPSS 2.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in killport 1.0.2.

This affects the package killport before 1.0.2. 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. Running this PoC will cause the command touch success to be executed, leading to the creation of a file called success.
