Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection. Urls are not properly escaped before concatenating them into the command that is opened using exec()
.

to the last version will prevent this vulnerability but is also likely to have unwanted effects since it now has a very different API.
Remediation
Upgrade open
to version 6.0.0 or higher.
