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 5.33.14, the Linux
networkStats(iface) implementation uses the caller-supplied interface value in an fs.existsSync() check
and to build /sys/class/net/<iface> paths, including the operstate path, without verifying that it is a
single interface-name segment or that the resolved path remains under /sys/class/net. An attacker who can
control iface and create a directory containing symlinked statistics files can use parent-directory
components and symlink traversal to make the API return the first line of a file readable by the Node.js
process. The package does not expose a network endpoint, and the demonstrated scenario requires local
filesystem setup. This issue is fixed in version 5.33.14. (CVE-2026-116673)
Solution
Update the homepage library and its related packages to version 2.7.0-r1 or later.
