## Passing User Paramters to Systeminformation

For most of the applications that are using systeminformation, there is no reason to worry. But be aware! If you are using inetLatency(), inetChecksite(), services(), processLoad(), versions() with arbitrary untrusted user input, you should pay extra attention! We are doing a lot of input sanitation for those functions inside this package but we cannot handle all cases!

This can lead to serious impact on your servers!

We highly recommend to always upgrade to the latest version of our package. We maintain security updates for version 5 AND also version 4. For version 4 you can install latest version by placing "systeminformation": "^4" in your package.json (dependencies) and run npm install
