- Summary
- nvm alias resolution follows `..` and discloses files outside $NVM_DIR/alias
- Details
-
nvm resolves a requested version or alias by treating it as a filename under $NVM_DIR/alias. Before 0.40.8, nvm_alias() concatenated the requested name onto that directory and read the result with no containment check, so a name containing a
..component escaped the alias directory; under the default layout an alias such as../../.npmrcresolves to a file in the user's home directory. nvm_print_alias_file() then emits every non-comment, non-empty line of whatever was opened. A version string taken from an untrusted .nvmrc reaches this path, so a developer who runsnvm use,nvm install, ornvm whichinside an attacker-supplied repository discloses the first non-comment line of an arbitrary file readable by that user, in the resulting "is not yet installed" error message. A user-suppliednvm alias <traversing-name>discloses every non-comment line of the target file. There is no integrity or availability impact, and no command execution on this path. - Database specific
