high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462644

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - systeminformation is a System and OS information library for node.js. Prior to 5.31.7, networkInterfaces()
 on Linux is vulnerable to OS command injection through the Debian/Ubuntu interfaces(5) source directive
 because lib/network.js checkLinuxDCHPInterfaces() reads /etc/network/interfaces, extracts a source <path>
 token from file content, and interpolates it unquoted into cat ${file} 2> /dev/null | grep 'iface\|source'
 executed by execSync(cmd, util.execOptsLinux), allowing a path containing shell metacharacters to execute
 commands in any process that calls networkInterfaces(), including via getStaticData() and getAllData().
 This issue is fixed in version 5.31.7. (CVE-2026-50289)

Solution

Update the systeminformation library and its related packages to version 5.31.7 or later.
