EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 7.8 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 1.2%, top 34% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

systeminformation is a System and OS information library for node.js. In versions prior to 5.30.8, a command injection vulnerability in the wifiNetworks() function allows an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands via an unsanitized network interface parameter in the retry code path. In lib/wifi.js, the wifiNetworks() function sanitizes the iface parameter on the initial call (line 437). However, when the initial scan returns empty results, a setTimeout retry (lines 440-441) calls getWifiNetworkListIw(iface) with the original unsanitized iface value, which is passed directly to execSync('iwlist ${iface} scan'). Any application passing user-controlled input to si.wifiNetworks() is vulnerable to arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Node.js process. Version 5.30.8 fixes the issue.
