Description Jason Shepherd 2021-03-19 04:56:55 UTC
The macaddress module before 0.2.9 for Node.js is prone to an arbitrary command injection flaw, due to allowing unsanitized input to an exec (rather than execFile) call.

Comment 3 Jason Shepherd 2021-03-19 05:21:06 UTC
Statement:

Red Hat Quay uses the macaddress module, but only as a development dependency, not at runtime reducing the impact on that product to low.
