All the vulnerabilities related to the version 2.0.4 of the package
Remote code execution via the pretty
option.
If a remote attacker was able to control the pretty
option of the pug compiler, e.g. if you spread a user provided object such as the query parameters of a request into the pug template inputs, it was possible for them to achieve remote code execution on the node.js backend.
Upgrade to pug@3.0.1
or pug-code-gen@3.0.2
or pug-code-gen@2.0.3
, which correctly sanitise the parameter.
If there is no way for un-trusted input to be passed to pug as the pretty
option, e.g. if you compile templates in advance before applying user input to them, you do not need to upgrade.

Pug allows JavaScript code execution if an application accepts untrusted input
Pug through 3.0.2 allows JavaScript code execution if an application accepts untrusted input for the name option of the compileClient
, compileFileClient
, or compileClientWithDependenciesTracked
function. NOTE: these functions are for compiling Pug templates into JavaScript, and there would typically be no reason to allow untrusted callers.
