    Summary: Arbitrary code execution in kill-by-port

    Details: This affects the package kill-by-port before 0.0.2. If (attacker-controlled) user input is given to the killByPort function, it is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary commands. This is due to use of the child_process exec function without input sanitization.
