CVE-2022-29078: Node.js Embedded JavaScript 3.1.6 - Template Injection

id: CVE-2022-29078

info:
  name: Node.js Embedded JavaScript 3.1.6 - Template Injection
  author: For3stCo1d
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Node.js Embedded JavaScript 3.1.6 is susceptible to server-side template injection via settings[view options][outputFunctionName], which is parsed as an internal option and overwrites the outputFunctionName option with an arbitrary OS command, which is then executed upon template compilation.
  impact: |
    Remote code execution can lead to unauthorized access, data leakage, and complete system compromise.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to a patched version of Node.js Embedded JavaScript (3.1.7 or higher) to mitigate the vulnerability.
