NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitlab-rails-ce-18.6 package and not the gitlab-rails-ce-18.6 package as distributed by Chainguard.

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.3 are vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Write. It is possible for packages to create symlinks to files outside of thenode_modules folder through the bin field upon installation. 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 behavior is still possible through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.
