Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 23, 2020 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Feb 1, 2023

Package

npm npm-programmatic (npm)

Affected versions

<= 0.0.12

Patched versions

None

Description

All versions of npm-programmatic are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize input rules and passes it directly to an exec call on the install, uninstall and list functions . This may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the system if the package name passed to the function is user-controlled.

Recommendation

No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
