react-dev-utils OS Command Injection in function `getProcessForPort`
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | react-dev-utils | >= 0.4.0, < 11.0.4 | 11.0.4 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
react-dev-utils prior to v11.0.4 exposes a function, `getProcessForPort`, where an input argument is concatenated into a command string to be executed. This function is typically used from react-scripts (in Create React App projects), where the usage is safe. Only when this function is manually invoked with user-provided values (ie: by custom code) is there the potential for command injection. If you're consuming it from react-scripts then this issue does not affect you.
