Affected packages

• npm traceroute: >= 0.0.0 (no fix yet)

Description

All versions of `traceroute` are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize input and passes it directly to an `exec` call, which may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the system. The `trace` function is vulnerable and can be abused if the `host` value is controlled by an attacker. Recommendation No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
