AI-suggested

Upgrade to NexTOR_IP_CHANGER version 2.0.0 or later, which fixes the vulnerability by removing the unsafe use of sudo and shell=True. Until upgraded, avoid running the tool in environments where passwordless sudo is enabled or restrict sudo permissions to prevent silent privileged command execution.

Description

NexTor IP Changer is a command-line tool that leverages the Tor network to periodically rotate a user's IP address. Versions prior to 2.0.0 execute privileged system commands using `sudo` and `shell=True` directly inside application logic. In environments where passwordless sudo (`NOPASSWD`) is enabled, privileged commands may execute silently without explicit user confirmation. Version 2.0.0 fixes the issue.
