Command Injection in umount

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 10, 2020 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Feb 1, 2023

Package

npm umount (npm)

Affected versions

<= 1.1.6

Patched versions

None

Description

All versions of umount are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize input rules and passes it directly to an exec call on the umount function . This may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the system if the device value passed to the function is user-controlled.

Recommendation

No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
