It fails to prevent access to folders outside of the intended node_modules folder through the bin field. A properly constructed entry in the package.json bin field would allow a package publisher to modify and/or gain access to arbitrary files on a user's system when the package is installed. This behavior is still possible through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option." } ] }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 7.7, "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "CHANGED", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://blog.npmjs.org/post/189618601100/binary-planting-with-the-npm-cli", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://blog.npmjs.org/post/189618601100/binary-planting-with-the-npm-cli" }, { "name": "https://github.com/npm/cli/security/advisories/GHSA-x8qc-rrcw-4r46", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://github.com/npm/cli/security/advisories/GHSA-x8qc-rrcw-4r46" }, { "url": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujan2020.html", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujan2020.html" }, { "refsource": "SUSE", "name": "openSUSE-SU-2020:0059", "url": "http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-01/msg00027.html" }, { "refsource": "FEDORA", "name": "FEDORA-2020-595ce5e3cc", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/Z36UKPO5F3PQ3Q2POMF5LEKXWAH5RUFP/" }, { "refsource": "REDHAT", "name": "RHEA-2020:0330", "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2020:0330" }, { "refsource": "REDHAT", "name": "RHSA-2020:0573", "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:0573" }, { "refsource": "REDHAT", "name": "RHSA-2020:0579", "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:0579" }, { "refsource": "REDHAT", "name": "RHSA-2020:0597", "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:0597" }, { "refsource": "REDHAT", "name": "RHSA-2020:0602", "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:0602" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-x8qc-rrcw-4r46", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
