raineorshinenpm-check-updates
Description#
npm-check-updates through 23.0.2, fixed in commit b554b84, contains a terminal escape sequence injection vulnerability that allows an attacker to embed arbitrary terminal control characters in a dependency's package.json homepage or repository URL fields. When a developer runs ncu with the --format homepage or --format repo option, unfiltered escape sequences are written directly to the terminal, enabling malicious output manipulation or other terminal-dependent effects.
Impact#
Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact none, integrity impact low, availability impact none. Attack vector: network.
Weaknesses#
- CWE-150 Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences
