import { execSync, spawn } from 'child_process'Caution. This package runs system commands on your computer. This is like giving someone the keys to your terminal. They could run anything — download files, change settings, or access your private data.
Technical details
Direct process execution functions (exec, spawn) can run arbitrary commands. Combined with user input, this enables remote code execution.
