Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15095)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to NPM Cli stores sensitive information into log files and supports URLs like "://[[:]@][:][:][/]". A local user can redirect output of a log file to an external URL.


2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8252)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect validation of realpath in libuv. The library incorrectly determines the buffer size, which can result in a buffer overflow if the resolved path is longer than 256 bytes. A remote attacker can pass an overly long path to the application that is using the library, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the system.
