This repository contains the proof-of-concepts for vulnerabilities discovered in npm packages.
Warning: This repo will install vulnerable npm packages and test them to demonstrate the vulnerabilities. So running this project in a VM (with Linux or Mac OS) is highly recommended.
To reproduce the vulnerabilities, first install the vulnerable packages:
npm install
The following vulnerable packages require a global install or root privilege:
sudo npm install xtalk@0.0.7
sudo npm install nodeload-nmickuli@1.0.3
sudo npm install badjs-sourcemap-server@0.1.11
Then, start the PoC testing script:
sudo ./PoC.sh
Notice: some vulnerable packages start a web server on port 80, which requires root privilege. Therefore, sudo is prefixed in the above command.
Some vulnerable packages use APIs that are deprecated in Node.js v7.1+. To reproduce those vulnerabilities, try Node.js v4.6.x or Node.js v6.x.
Versions of those vulnerable packages can be found in the package.json file.
