Overview
lifion-verify-dependencies through version 1.1.0 contains a vulnerability that allows OS command injection via a crafted dependency name in the scanned project's package.json file (NVD, MITRE).
Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the package's dependency verification functionality where it fails to properly validate npm module names before using them in command execution. The issue was discovered in versions up to and including 1.1.0. The vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2021-34078 and allows attackers to inject operating system commands through specially crafted dependency names (Checkmarx Advisory).
Impact
A successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the affected system through a maliciously crafted dependency name in the package.json file (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been fixed by adding validation for npm module names using the validate-npm-package-name package, as evidenced in the patch commit (GitHub Patch). Users should upgrade to a version after 1.1.0 that includes this fix.
