CVE-2021-43616 - Critical Severity Vulnerability
a package manager for JavaScript
Library home page: https://registry.npmjs.org/npm/-/npm-7.24.2.tgz
Path to dependency file: /package.json
Path to vulnerable library: /node_modules/npm/package.json
Dependency Hierarchy: - npm-8.0.3.tgz (Root Library) - :x: **npm-7.24.2.tgz** (Vulnerable Library)
Found in HEAD commit: 52693f2ddee1582e6dd5ac2903f9f26f11e0948f
Found in base branch: master
** DISPUTED ** The npm ci command in npm 7.x and 8.x through 8.1.3 proceeds with an installation even if dependency information in package-lock.json differs from package.json. This behavior is inconsistent with the documentation, and makes it easier for attackers to install malware that was supposed to have been blocked by an exact version match requirement in package-lock.json. NOTE: The npm team believes this is not a vulnerability. It would require someone to socially engineer package.json which has different dependencies than package-lock.json. That user would have to have file system or write access to change dependencies. The npm team states preventing malicious actors from socially engineering or gaining file system access is outside the scope of the npm CLI.
