Affected packages
• npm @wakaru/cli: >= 1.0.0, < 1.4.0 → fixed in 1.4.0
Description
Impact
`@wakaru/cli` is vulnerable to arbitrary file write when unpacking a crafted JavaScript bundle with `--unpack`.
Bundle-controlled module filenames were sanitized before writing extracted modules to the output directory. A crafted filename containing overlapping path traversal characters, such as `....//`, could be transformed into `../` after sanitization. This allowed the final output path to escape the intended output directory.
An attacker who can cause a user to run `wakaru --unpack` on a malicious bundle may be able to write files outside the selected output directory. Depending on the target path and user environment, this may lead to code execution.
Affected versions: `>=1.0.0 <1.4.0`.
Patches
The issue has been patched in `@wakaru/[email protected]`.
Users should upgrade to:
```sh
npm install @wakaru/cli@latest
```
or specifically:
```
npm install @wakaru/[email protected]
```
Workarounds
Do not run `wakaru --unpack` on untrusted or unknown bundles with affected versions.
If upgrading immediately is not possible, avoid using `--unpack on files that may be attacker-controlled.
