Arbitrary Command Injection

pidusage is a package for Cross-platform process cpu % and memory usage of a PID. Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection. It passes user input to child_process.exec without sanitization, which causes a command injection vulnerability in the ps function due to never casting the PID to an integer.

PoC:

var pid = require('pidusage');
pid.stat('1 && /usr/local/bin/python');

How to fix Arbitrary Command Injection?

Upgrade pidusage to version 1.1.5 or higher.

<1.1.5
