How to fix?

Upgrade gatsby-transformer-remark to version 5.25.1, 6.3.2 or higher.

Overview

gatsby-transformer-remark is a Gatsby transformer plugin for Markdown using the Remark library and ecosystem

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection due to improper user-input sanitization when passing input in data mode (querying MarkdownRemark nodes via GraphQL). In order to exploit this vulnerability untrusted/unsanitized input would need to be sourced by or added into a file processed by gatsby-transformer-remark.

PoC

---javascript ((require("child_process")).execSync("id >> /tmp/rce"))

Workaround

Users who are unable to upgrade to the fixed version should sanitize the input ahead of processing.
