Overview

node is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') due to the improper handling of batch files in child_process.spawn or child_process.spawnSync. An attacker can inject arbitrary commands and achieve code execution even if the shell option is not enabled.

Note: This vulnerability only affects Windows machines.
