    Arbitrary File Write

    bin-links is a .bin/ script linker package.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write. It fails to prevent access to folders outside of the intended node_modules folder through the bin field.

    For npm, 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 behaviour is possible through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.

    How to fix Arbitrary File Write?

    Upgrade bin-links to version 1.1.5 or higher.

    <1.1.5

    Unauthorized File Access

    bin-links is a .bin/ script linker package.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unauthorized File Access. It is possible for packages to create symlinks to files outside of thenode_modules folder through the bin field upon installation.

    For npm, a properly constructed entry in the package.json bin field would allow a package publisher to create a symlink pointing to arbitrary files on a user’s system when the package is installed. This behaviour is possible through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.

    How to fix Unauthorized File Access?

    Upgrade bin-links to version 1.1.5 or higher.

    <1.1.5

    Arbitrary File Overwrite

    bin-links is a .bin/ script linker package.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a serve binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a serve binary would overwrite the first binary. This only affects files in /usr/local/bin.

    For npm, this behaviour is still allowed in local installations and also through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.

    How to fix Arbitrary File Overwrite?

    Upgrade bin-links to version 1.1.6 or higher.

    <1.1.6
