HTTP: System Information Library Nodejs OS Command Injection
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against System Information Library Nodejs. A successful attack can lead to command injection and arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
The System Information Library for Node.JS (npm package "systeminformation") is an open source collection of functions to retrieve detailed hardware, system and OS information. In systeminformation before version 5.3.1 there is a command injection vulnerability. Problem was fixed in version 5.3.1. As a workaround instead of upgrading, be sure to check or sanitize service parameters that are passed to si.inetLatency(), si.inetChecksite(), si.services(), si.processLoad() ... do only allow strings, reject any arrays. String sanitation works as expected.
