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 an Arbitrary File Write. The package fails to restrict access to folders outside of the intended `node_modules` folder through the `bin` field. This allows attackers to create arbitrary files in the system. Note it is not possible to overwrite files that already exist. Recommendation Upgrade to version 1.1.5 or later.
