Command Injection in node-rules

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Sep 3, 2020 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Oct 6, 2023

Package

npm node-rules (npm)

Affected versions

< 5.0.0

Patched versions

5.0.0

Description

Versions of node-rules prior to 5.0.0 are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize input rules and passes it directly to an eval call when using the fromJSON function. This may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the system if the rules are user-controlled.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 5.0.0 or later.
