Background
The wizard-syncronizer package is an npm module used for synchronizing data between different systems. It provides functionality for cloning and syncing data from a Git repository. The package is vulnerable to Command Injection due to a lack of input validation in the cloneAndSync function. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system. Additionally, the package does not enforce HTTPS, making it susceptible to MITM attacks.
Vulnerability Detail
The Command Injection vulnerability in wizard-syncronizer arises from the package's failure to properly validate user input. The cloneAndSync function concatenates the input to an exec call without any sanitization. This enables an attacker to inject malicious commands through a widget's gitURL value or by intercepting the communication between the package and the Git repository. As a result, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the system, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data loss, or system compromise.

Conclusion
The wizard-syncronizer package is vulnerable to Command Injection, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the system. Currently, there is no fix available, and it is advised to use an alternative module until a fix is provided. Regularly monitoring for updates and security advisories related to the package is crucial to ensure the latest version is installed once a fix becomes available.
