Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pdf-image versions through 2.0.0

Description The pdf-image npm package versions through 2.0.0 allows for OS command injection via the pdfFilePath parameter. The constructGetInfoCommand and constructConvertCommandForPage functions utilize util.format() to incorporate user-supplied file paths into shell command strings, which are then executed using child process.exec(). This allows for remote code execution.

Recommendations Versions prior to 2.0.1 should be used. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the pdfFilePath parameter until a patch is available.
