Description

This module uses the "evaluate" request type of the NodeJS V8
debugger protocol (version 1) to evaluate arbitrary JS and
call out to other system commands. The port (default 5858) is
not exposed non-locally in default configurations, but may be
exposed either intentionally or via misconfiguration.
