Command Injection in pidusage

Affected versions of pidusage pass unsanitized input to child_process.exec(), resulting in arbitrary code execution in the ps method.

This package is vulnerable to this PoC on Darwin, SunOS, FreeBSD, and AIX.

Windows and Linux are not vulnerable.

Proof of Concept

var pid = require('pidusage');
pid.stat('1 && /usr/local/bin/python');

Recommendation

Update to version 1.1.5 or later.
