Arbitrary Code Execution in require-node

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Sep 3, 2020 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 12, 2023

Package

npm require-node (npm)

Affected versions

< 1.3.4
>= 2.0.0, < 2.0.4

Patched versions

1.3.4
2.0.4

Description

Versions of require-node prior to 1.3.4 for 1.x and 2.0.4 for 2.x are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. The package fails to sanitize requests to the require-node endpoint, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code in the server through the injection of OS commands in the request body.

Recommendation

  • If you are using 1.x, upgrade to version 1.3.4 or later.
  • If you are using 2.x, upgrade to version 2.0.4 or later.
