CVSS v3.1
10
Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
node-extend versions prior to 0.2.1
Description:
The issue concerns the
extend function located within lib/extend.js, where user input provided to the argument A is executed by the eval function, resulting in arbitrary code execution. This is due to insufficient input validation, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.Recommendations:
For node-extend versions prior to 0.2.1, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
extend function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the lib/extend.js file to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the A argument in the affected extend function until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
