Priority: 🔴 Critical
This document details the security fixes applied to resolve npm dependency vulnerabilities and deprecation warnings discovered during npm install.
| # | Package | Issue Type | Severity | CVE ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | glob | Command Injection | 🔴 High | CVE-2025-64756 |
| 2 | uuid | Deprecation Warning | ⚠️ Medium | N/A |
CVE ID: CVE-2025-64756
Severity: High
CVSS Score: Not publicly assigned (command injection via CLI)
Exploit Maturity: Proof-of-concept available
EPSS Probability: 0.03% (8th percentile)
The glob npm package CLI contains a command injection vulnerability in its -c/--cmd option that allows arbitrary command execution when processing files with malicious names.
Vulnerable Code Path:
The foregroundChild() function defaults to setting shell: true, which means an attacker who can control the filenames being matched can execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running the process.
| Version Range | Status |
|---|---|
| >= 10.3.7 < 10.5.0 | ❌ Vulnerable |
| >= 11.0.0 < 11.1.0 | ❌ Vulnerable |
| >= 10.5.0, >= 11.1.0 | ✅ Patched |
npm install output:
Upgraded to latest stable version (v13.0.6):
✅ No warnings, no vulnerabilities
Package: uuid
Version Before: v8.x (transitive dependency)
Severity: Medium (deprecation, not immediate vulnerability)
Older versions of the uuid package use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is cryptographically weak and deprecated. The V8 team has documented issues with Math.random() for security-sensitive applications.
Warning Message:
| Project Type | Recommended Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ESM Codebase | uuid@14.x (latest) | Future-proof |
| CommonJS Codebase | uuid@11.x | Stable until 2028 |
Transitive dependency pulling in uuid@8.x:
Added override for CommonJS-compatible version:
Before 2028, consider migrating to ESM and upgrading to uuid@14.x:
| File | Change |
|---|---|
package.json | Updated version to 1.4.3, added overrides for glob and uuid |
CHANGELOG.md | Added v1.4.3 entry documenting security fixes |
SECURITY.md | Added "Known Vulnerabilities (Resolved)" section |
README.md | Added security fix announcement in Recent Updates |
