All the vulnerabilities related to the version 0.2.1 of the package
Tmp files readable by other users in sync-exec
Affected versions of sync-exec
use files located in /tmp/
to buffer command results before returning values. As /tmp/
is almost always set with world readable permissions, this may allow low privilege users on the system to read the results of commands run via sync-exec
under a higher privilege user.
There is currently no direct patch for sync-exec
, as the child_process.execSync
function provided in Node.js v0.12.0 and later provides the same functionality natively.
The best mitigation currently is to update to Node.js v0.12.0 or later, and migrate all uses of sync-exec
to child_process.execSync()
.
yargs-parser Vulnerable to Prototype Pollution
Affected versions of yargs-parser
are vulnerable to prototype pollution. Arguments are not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to modify the prototype of Object
, causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Parsing the argument --foo.__proto__.bar baz'
adds a bar
property with value baz
to all objects. This is only exploitable if attackers have control over the arguments being passed to yargs-parser
.
Upgrade to versions 13.1.2, 15.0.1, 18.1.1 or later.
