Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). There is a possible vulnerability in logic that is run only at npm install time when installing the package. If an attacker has the ability to set the value of the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable in a build environment then they might be able to use this to inject an arbitrary command at npm install time. This is not part of any runtime code and does not affect Windows users at all.
