Arbitrary code execution via malicious dependency
Published Jul 22, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Code injection in scu-captcha 0.0.1 through 0.0.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious dependency package. The package's installation pulls a tampered request dependency that contains the backdoor, so executing installed package code runs attacker-controlled instructions. Exploitation requires installing an affected release, and successful execution can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
