Recommended action

What this means

OS Command Injection and Command Injection in kill-port-process affects kill-port-process (npm). Severity is critical. The kill-port-process package prior to version 2.2.0 is vulnerable to a Command Injection.

AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in npm. A critical vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.

Affected software

Fixed versions are reported by the source feed; confirm compatibility before updating.
