QID 995656: NodeJs (Npm) Security Update for tree-kill (GHSA-mxq6-vrrr-ppmg)

A Code Injection exists in tree-kill on Windows which allows a remote code execution when an attacker is able to control the input into the command, which is executed without any check. The issue arises here: https://github.com/pkrumins/node-tree-kill/blob/master/index.js#L20 . While the Linux part is sanitized, the Windows on simply uses the + operand to concatenate the input into exec()

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.

CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 9.8 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as High - 7.5 severity.
