Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass in the require process. An attacker can access sensitive local .js and .json files by supplying malicious JavaScript templates that exploit the module loader to bypass file access restrictions. This is only exploitable if untrusted or third-party JavaScript templates are executed.
