Impact

As of today, we are not aware of any Prisma users or external consumers of the @prisma/sdk package who are affected by this security vulnerability.

This issue may lead to remote code execution if a client of the library calls the vulnerable method with untrusted input.

It only affects the getPackedPackage function and this function is not advertised and only used for tests & building our CLI, no malicious code was found after checking our codebase.

Patches

• @prisma/sdk@2.20.0 (latest channel)
