nvm evaluates a malicious mirror's index.tab version strings as shell arithmetic via stored LTS aliases

Özet

Türkçe özeti yalnızca kritik ve yüksek önemdeki açıklar için hazırlıyoruz. Bu açık için kaynağın kendi açıklamasını gösteriyoruz.

Node Version Manager (nvm) is a POSIX-compliant shell function for managing multiple node.js versions. In versions 0.39.6 through 0.40.8, nvm ls-remote (and other commands that refresh remote LTS aliases) store the version column of the mirror's index.tab in $NVM_DIR/alias/lts/ without validating it, and nvm_normalize_lts later evaluates any suffix of an lts/-N value inside shell arithmetic $((N+1)). Under bash and zsh, arithmetic evaluation expands command substitutions in array subscripts, so a stored value such as lts/-10*path[$(cmd)1] runs cmd as the user when the alias is later resolved by purely local commands (nvm ls, nvm alias, nvm use --lts, nvm which lts/), and in every new shell when the default alias is lts/*. Exploitation requires the victim to use a hostile mirror -- via a compromised mirror or CDN, a network man-in-the-middle of an http:// mirror, or a maliciously configured NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR -- and to run an affected command. The same sink is also reachable from a project .nvmrc, which is treated as hardening. dash is not affected. Version 0.41.0 only passes an all-digit lts/-N offset to arithmetic and drops index.tab rows whose version is not a valid version string.

Üreticinin çözüm notu (İngilizce)

Upgrade to nvm 0.41.0 or later, which only lets an all-digit lts/-N offset reach shell arithmetic and drops mirror rows with invalid version strings. (Only needed if using a non-default mirror whose metadata contents you do not trust, or running nvm in untrusted project directories.)
