Code execution via eval-generated dynamic import
Published Oct 31, 2024 · Updated Aug 17, 2026
Code injection in antonk52 lilconfig 3.1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary JavaScript through a crafted loader input. The dynamicImport function embeds the loader-supplied module identifier in an eval-generated import expression without neutralizing JavaScript syntax. Reachability requires a consuming application to pass attacker-controlled text to defaultLoaders, after which injected code runs with the host Node.js process privileges.
