- Affected
- npm npmconf < 2.1.3
- Fixed in
- 2.1.3· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Versions of npmconf before 2.1.3 allocate and write to disk uninitialized memory contents when a typed number is passed as input on Node.js 4.x. Recommendation Update to version 2.1.3 or later. Consider switching to another config storage mechanism, as npmconf is deprecated and should not be used.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.1.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
