Command Injection in hot-formula-parser

Description

Versions of hot-formula-parser prior to 3.0.1 are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize values passed to the parse function and concatenates it in an eval call. If a value of the formula is supplied by user-controlled input it may allow attackers to run arbitrary commands in the server.

Recommendation

Update the hot-formula-parser package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

• Affected version(s): < 3.0.1
• Patched version(s): 3.0.1
