CVE-2016-10532 · GHSA-q52j-4q2q-hcj6
- Affected
- npm console-io < 2.3.0
- Fixed in
- 2.3.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Affected versions of the console-io package do not configure the underlying websocket library to require authentication, resulting in an authentication bypass vulnerability. As console-io allows terminal access on the server via a web page, an authentication bypass is essentially remote code execution. Recommendation Update to version 2.3.0 or later.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.3.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
