Echo: systeminformation: security update to 4.0.11+ds5+~cs11.25.27-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 463896

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. From 4.17.0 to 5.31.5, on Linux,
 systeminformation is vulnerable to command injection in networkInterfaces() when an active NetworkManager
 connection profile name contains shell metacharacters. The vulnerable value is obtained internally from
 real nmcli device status output. The library sanitizes the network interface name before using it in shell
 commands, but it does not apply equivalent sanitization to the parsed NetworkManager connection profile
 name. That unsanitized connectionName is then interpolated into three shell command strings executed
 through execSync(). This vulnerability is fixed in 5.31.6. (CVE-2026-44724)

Solution

Update the systeminformation library and its related packages to version 4.0.11+ds5+~cs11.25.27-1 or later.
