Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2020-24025
**DESCRIPTION:**node-sass could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the disablement of certificate validation when requesting binaries even if the user is not specifying an alternative download path. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass access restrictions.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/195029 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-3807
**DESCRIPTION:**Chalk ansi-regex module for Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw. By sending a specially-crafted regex input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/209596 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2021-33623
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js trim-newlines module is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial-of-service (ReDoS) flaw in the .end() method. By sending a specially-crafted regex input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/202758 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2021-37713
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js tar module could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by insufficient logic on Windows systems when extracting tar files that contained a path that was not an absolute path, but specified a drive letter different from the extraction target. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to create or overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/208451 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-37712
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js tar module could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an arbitrary file creation/overwrite vulnerability. By creating a directory, and then replacing that directory with a symlink that had a different apparent name that resolved to the same entry in the filesystem, an attacker could use an untrusted tar file to symlink into an arbitrary location and extract arbitrary files into that location to create or overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/208450 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-37701
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js tar module could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an arbitrary file creation/overwrite vulnerability. By creating a directory, and then replacing that directory with a symlink, an attacker could use an untrusted tar file to symlink into an arbitrary location and extract arbitrary files into that location to create or overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/208442 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-32804
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js tar module could allow a local attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by insufficient absolute path sanitization. An attacker could use a specially-crafted tar file containing “dot dot” sequences (/…/) to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/206719 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-32803
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js tar module could allow a local attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by insufficient symlink protection. An attacker could use a specially-crafted tar file containing “dot dot” sequences (/…/) to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
