SCA: security update for systeminformation (GHSA-3f7j-7jwc-fxfj)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477765
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 5.33.16, services() in
lib/processes.js inserts a caller-supplied service name into a PowerShell Get-CimInstance filter after
processing it with sanitizeShellString() in lib/util.js. On Windows, the sanitizer removes ASCII quotes
but permits Unicode quotation marks that PowerShell accepts as string delimiters, allowing crafted input
to terminate the filter and place a PowerShell expression in the command executed by util.powerShell().
The expression runs with the Node.js process account's permissions and may read or change accessible
files, alter application data, or disrupt the service. The package does not expose a network service
itself, so remote reachability depends on a consuming application forwarding attacker-controlled input to
services() or getDynamicData(). This issue is fixed in version 5.33.16. (CVE-2026-116576)
Solution
Update the systeminformation library and its related packages to version 5.33.16 or later.See Also
