NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs10 package and not the nodejs10 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.4 are vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a serve binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a serve binary would overwrite the previous serve binary. This behavior is still allowed in local installations and also through install scripts. This vulnerability bypasses a user using the --ignore-scripts install option.
