Command Injection

react-dev-utils is an includes some utilities used by Create React App.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via getProcessForPort - where an input argument is concatenated into a command string to be executed. This function is typically used from react-scripts (in Create React App projects), where the usage is safe. Only when this function is manually invoked with user-provided values (ie: by custom code) is there the potential for command injection. If you're consuming it from react-scripts then this issue does not affect you.

How to fix Command Injection?

Upgrade react-dev-utils to version 11.0.4 or higher.

<11.0.4

Arbitrary Code Execution

react-dev-utils includes some utilities used by Create React App.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. On Windows, developers are allowed to run a local webserver for accepting various commands, including a command to launch an editor. The input to that command was not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker who can make a network request to the server (either via CSRF or by direct request) to execute arbitrary commands on the targeted system.

How to fix Arbitrary Code Execution?

Upgrade react-dev-utils to version 1.0.4, 2.0.2, 3.1.2, 4.2.2, 5.0.2 or higher.
