Killport · Killport · CVE-2019-5414
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
kill-port versions prior to 1.3.2
**Description**
The issue allows an attacker to inject arbitrary OS commands due to the usage of the exec function in a third-party module. This is possible because the package does not validate user input on the `kill` function, which may allow attackers to run arbitrary commands in the system if user input, such as the port number, is passed directly to the function.
**Recommendations**
Upgrade to version 1.3.2 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `kill` function in the `kill-port` module until a patch is available.
