CVE-2019-16775 (GCVE-0-2019-16775)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-12-13 00:55 – Updated: 2024-08-05 01:24

Title

Unauthorized File Access in npm CLI before before version 6.13.3

Summary

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.3 are vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Write. It is possible for packages to create symlinks to files outside of thenode_modules folder through the bin field upon installation. A properly constructed entry in the package.json bin field would allow a package publisher to create a symlink pointing to arbitrary files on a user's system when the package is installed. This behavior is still possible through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.

Severity

7.7 (High)

CVE-2019-16776 (GCVE-0-2019-16776)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-12-13 00:55 – Updated: 2024-08-05 01:24

Title

Unauthorized File Access in npm CLI before before version 6.13.3

Summary

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.3 are vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Write. It fails to prevent access to folders outside of the intended node_modules folder through the bin field. A properly constructed entry in the package.json bin field would allow a package publisher to modify and/or gain access to arbitrary files on a user's system when the package is installed. This behavior is still possible through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.

Severity

7.7 (High)

CVE-2019-16777 (GCVE-0-2019-16777)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-12-13 01:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 01:24

Title

Arbitrary File Overwrite in npm CLI

Summary

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.4 are vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a serve binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a serve binary would overwrite the previous serve binary. This behavior is still allowed in local installations and also through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.

Severity

7.7 (High)

              "value": "Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.4 are vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a serve binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a serve binary would overwrite the previous serve binary. This behavior is still allowed in local installations and also through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option."
