CVE-2017-16024: Information Exposure
(updated )
The sync-exec module is used to simulate child_process
Sync-exec uses tmp
directories as a buffer before returning values. Other users on the server have read access to the tmp
directory, possibly allowing an attacker on the server to obtain confidential information from the buffer/tmp
file, while it exists.
