Kurz gesagt
- CVE-2026-26280 ist eine Schwachstelle (HOCH (CVSS 7.8)) in systeminformation (systeminformation), systeminformation.
- Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Ausnutzung in den nächsten 30 Tagen (EPSS): 1.4%, höher als bei 72.0% aller Schwachstellen.
- Abhilfe: auf 5.30.8 oder neuer aktualisieren.
Description
Summary
A command injection vulnerability in the wifiNetworks() function allows an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands via an unsanitized network interface parameter in the retry code path.
Details
In lib/wifi.js, the wifiNetworks() function sanitizes the iface parameter on the initial call (line 437). However, when the initial scan returns empty results, a setTimeout retry (lines 440-441) calls getWifiNetworkListIw(iface) with the original unsanitized iface value, which is passed directly to execSync('iwlist ${iface} scan').
PoC
- Install
[email protected]
- Call
si.wifiNetworks('eth0; id')
- The first call sanitizes input, but if results are empty, the retry executes:
iwlist eth0; id scan
Impact
Remote Code Execution (RCE). Any application passing user-controlled input to si.wifiNetworks() is vulnerable to arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Node.js process.
NVD description
systeminformation is a System and OS information library for node.js. In versions prior to 5.30.8, a command injection vulnerability in the `wifiNetworks()` function allows an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands via an unsanitized network interface parameter in the retry code path. In `lib/wifi.js`, the `wifiNetworks()` function sanitizes the `iface` parameter on the initial call (line 437). However, when the initial scan returns empty results, a `setTimeout` retry (lines 440-441) calls `getWifiNetworkListIw(iface)` with the **original unsanitized** `iface` value, which is passed directly to `execSync('iwlist ${iface} scan')`. Any application passing user-controlled input to `si.wifiNetworks()` is vulnerable to arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the Node.js process. Version 5.30.8 fixes the issue.
