CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-264 Open this link in a new tab

How to fix?

Upgrade open to version 6.0.0 or higher.

Overview

open is a cross platform package that opens stuff like URLs, files, executables.

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().

Note: Upgrading open to the last version will prevent this vulnerability but is also likely to have unwanted effects since it now has a very different API.
