Physically proximate code execution via enabled RunAsNode
Published Mar 19, 2025 · Updated Mar 25, 2025
Code injection in Termius 9.9.0 through 9.16.0 allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code through Electron. The packaged Electron binary leaves the RunAsNode fuse enabled, so ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE makes it execute attacker-supplied JavaScript as Node.js. Exploitation requires physical proximity and control of the process environment, and the code runs with the affected user's permissions.
