Affected packages

• npm bin-links: < 1.1.5 → fixed in 1.1.5

Description

Versions of `bin-links` prior to 1.1.5 are vulnerable to a Symlink reference outside of node_modules. It is possible to create symlinks to files outside of the`node_modules` folder through the `bin` field. This may allow attackers to access unauthorized files. Recommendation Upgrade to version 1.1.5 or later.
