GMS-2020-792: Command Injection in treekill

September 4, 2020 (updated October 4, 2021)

All versions of treekill are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize values passed to the kill function. If this value is user-controlled it may allow attackers to run arbitrary commands in the server. The issue only affects Windows systems.

Recommendation

No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
