Code execution via unvalidated dependency names
Published Jun 1, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
OS command injection in lifion-verify-deps 1.1.0 and earlier allows attackers to execute commands via a crafted dependency name. The getLatestVersions and getLatestTag functions interpolate each package.json dependency key into npm view shell commands passed to child_process.exec without validating the package name. Execution requires the victim to run the dependency checker against an attacker-controlled project, and injected commands run with the privileges of the checker process.
