medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413830

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - webcrack is a tool for reverse engineering javascript. An arbitrary file write vulnerability exists in the
 webcrack module when processing specifically crafted malicious code on Windows systems. This vulnerability
 is triggered when using the unpack bundles feature in conjunction with the saving feature. If a module
 name includes a path traversal sequence with Windows path separators, an attacker can exploit this to
 overwrite files on the host system. This vulnerability allows an attacker to write arbitrary `.js` files
 to the host system, which can be leveraged to hijack legitimate Node.js modules to gain arbitrary code
 execution. This vulnerability has been patched in version 2.14.1. (CVE-2024-43373)
