The component can run operating-system commands or spawn processes.

index.js:9-9 
const { execFileSync } = require('child_process')

Why it matters: Powerful and often legitimate — confirm the commands aren't built from untrusted input.

Fix: Confirm the command and its arguments are fully controlled and not derived from untrusted input; prefer execFile with an argument array.
