Impact
What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
Command Injection vulnerabilities in electerm:
A command injection vulnerability exists in github.com/elcterm/electerm/npm/install.js:130. The runLinux() function appends attacker-controlled remote version strings directly into an exec("rm -rf ...") command without validation.
Who is impacted: Users who run npm install -g electerm in Linux. An attacker who can control the remote release metadata (version string or release name) served by the project's update server could execute arbitrary system commands, tamper local files, and escalate compromise of development/runtime assets.
