CVE-2021-3190 is a critical OS Command Injection vulnerability affecting the async-git package for Node.js, specifically versions prior to 1.13.2. Attackers can exploit this flaw by injecting shell metacharacters into functions like git.reset and git.tag, leading to arbitrary command execution. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL) and an EPSS percentile indicating high exploitability, this vulnerability poses a significant risk of complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the high severity warrants immediate patching.
