Package : node-cached-path-relative Version : 1.0.1-2+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2018-16472 CVE-2021-23518 Debian Bug : #1004338

Cristian-Alexandru Staicu discovered a prototype pollution vulnerability in inode-cached-path-relative, a Node.js module used to cache (memoize) the result of path.relative.

CVE-2018-16472

An attacker controlling both the path and the cached value, can mount a prototype pollution attack and thus overwrite arbitrary properties on Object.prototype, which may result in denial of service.

CVE-2021-23518

The fix for CVE-2018-16472 was incomplete and other prototype pollution vulnerabilities were found in the meantime, resulting in a new CVE.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.1-2+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your node-cached-path-relative packages.
