📋 Description

Versions of require-node prior to 1.3.4 for 1.x and 2.0.4 for 2.x are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. The package fails to sanitize requests to the require-node endpoint, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code in the server through the injection of OS commands in the request body.

Recommendation

If you are using 1.x, upgrade to version 1.3.4 or later.
If you are using 2.x, upgrade to version 2.0.4 or later.
