Command Injection in npm-programmatic

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.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
