DLL Injection in kerberos

Source: GitHub Advisory Database (reviewed) High CVE-2020-13110

Packages

Ecosystem	Package	Affected	Fixed in
npm	kerberos	< 1.0.0	1.0.0

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

Version of `kerberos` prior to 1.0.0 are vulnerable to DLL Injection. The package loads DLLs without specifying a full path. This may allow attackers to create a file with the same name in a folder that precedes the intended file in the DLL path search. Doing so would allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the machine. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 1.0.0 or later.
