Summary electerm: electerm_install_script_CommandInjection Vulnerability Report _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ **Two Command Injection vulnerabilities in electerm:** 1. **macOS Installer** (`electerm_CommandInjection_02`): A command injection vulnerability exists in `github.com/elcterm/electerm/npm/install.js:150`. The `runMac()` function appends attacker-controlled remote `releaseInfo.name` directly into an `exec("open ...")` command without validation. 2. **Linux Installer** (`electerm_CommandInjection_01`): A command injection vulnerability exists in `github.com/elcterm/electerm/npm/install.js:130`. The `runLinux()` function appends attacker-controlled remote version strings directly into an `exec("rm -rf ...")` command without validation. **Who is impacted:** Users who run `npm install -g electerm`. An attacker who can control the remote release metadata (version string or release name) served by the project's update server could execute arbitrary system commands, tamper local files, and escalate compromise of development/runtime assets. ---
