Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.3 are vulnerable to an Arbitrary File
Write. It fails to prevent access to folders outside of the intended
node_modules folder through the bin field. A properly constructed entry in
the package.json bin field would allow a package publisher to modify and/or
gain access to arbitrary files on a user’s system when the package is
installed. This behavior is still possible through install scripts. This
vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.
