pkg is tool design to bundle Node.js projects into an executables. Any native code packages built by pkg
are written to a hardcoded directory. On unix systems, this is /tmp/pkg/*
which is a shared directory for all users on the same local system. There is no uniqueness to the package names within this directory, they are predictable. An attacker who has access to the same local system has the ability to replace the genuine executables in the shared directory with malicious executables of the same name. A user may then run the malicious executable without realising it has been modified. This package is deprecated. Therefore, there will not be a patch provided for this vulnerability. To check if your executable build by pkg depends on native code and is vulnerable, run the executable and check if /tmp/pkg/
