Package : node-cached-path-relative
Version : 1.0.1-2+deb10u1
CVE ID : CVE-2018-16472 CVE-2021-23518
Debian Bug : #1004338

Cristian-Alexandru Staicu discovered a prototype pollution vulnerability
in inode-cached-path-relative, a Node.js module used to cache (memoize)
the result of path.relative.

CVE-2018-16472

An attacker controlling both the path and the cached value, can
mount a prototype pollution attack and thus overwrite arbitrary
properties on Object.prototype, which may result in denial of
service.

CVE-2021-23518

The fix for CVE-2018-16472 was incomplete and other prototype
pollution vulnerabilities were found in the meantime, resulting in a
new CVE.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
1.0.1-2+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your node-cached-path-relative packages.
