The package grunt before 1.3.0 are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution due to the default usage of the function load() instead of its secure replacement safeLoad() of the package js-yaml inside grunt.file.readYAML.
file.copy operations in GruntJS are vulnerable to a TOCTOU race condition leading to arbitrary file write in GitHub repository gruntjs/grunt prior to 1.5.3. This vulnerability is capable of arbitrary file writes which can lead to local privilege escalation to the GruntJS user if a lower-privileged user has write access to both source and destination directories as the lower-privileged user can create a symlink to the GruntJS user's .bashrc file or replace /etc/shadow file if the GruntJS user is root.

- Removed coffeescript from dependencies. To ease transition, if
coffeescript is still around, Grunt will attempt to load it.
If it is not, and the user loads a CoffeeScript file,
Grunt will print a useful error indicating that the
coffeescript package should be installed as a dev dependency.
This is considerably more user-friendly than dropping the require entirely,
but doing so is feasible with the latest grunt-cli as users
may simply use grunt --require [https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1675](https://redirect.github.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1675)thub.com/gruntjs/grunt/pull/1675)
