CVE-2018-7408 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream npm package and not the npm package as distributed by Debian.
An issue was discovered in an npm 5.7.0 2018-02-21 pre-release (marked as "next: 5.7.0" and therefore automatically installed by an "npm upgrade -g npm" command, and also announced in the vendor's blog without mention of pre-release status). It might allow local users to bypass intended filesystem access restrictions because ownerships of /etc and /usr directories are being changed unexpectedly, related to a "correctMkdir" issue.
