Produktbeschreibung: npm ist ein Paketmanager für die JavaScript-Laufzeitumgebung Node.js.

Angriff: Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in npm ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen.

Betroffene Betriebssysteme: - UNIX - Linux - MacOS X - Windows - Sonstiges

CVE-2021-43616

Es existiert eine Schwachstelle in npm. Die Schwachstelle besteht in dem "ci"-Befehl. Wenn Abhängigkeiten von Paketen in den Dateien "package-lock.json" und "package.json" unterschiedlich sind, fährt das Programm mit der Installation fort, statt den Befehl zu terminieren. Dadurch könnte schadhafte Software eingeschleust werden. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann diese Schwachstelle ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen.

CVE-2021-43616 (GCVE-0-2021-43616)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2021-11-13 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-04 04:03 Disputed

Summary

The npm ci command in npm 7.x and 8.x through 8.1.3 proceeds with an installation even if dependency information in package-lock.json differs from package.json. This behavior is inconsistent with the documentation, and makes it easier for attackers to install malware that was supposed to have been blocked by an exact version match requirement in package-lock.json. NOTE: The npm team believes this is not a vulnerability. It would require someone to socially engineer package.json which has different dependencies than package-lock.json. That user would have to have file system or write access to change dependencies. The npm team states preventing malicious actors from socially engineering or gaining file system access is outside the scope of the npm CLI.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
